Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (163.5g)chopped pecans, roasted
  • 2 ½ cups (312g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks or 227g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350º F.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat butter for 1-2 minutes on medium-high. You want it to be lighter and creamy. Add in granulated and brown sugar and beat for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in the eggs, one at a time, with the mixer on low. After fully incorporated, add in the vanilla.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • With the mixer off, add in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix on medium-low until just combined. Remove bowl from mixer and stir in roasted pecans by hand. Reserve about 1½ cup for sprinkling on top.
  • Drop 1 tablespoon of dough onto cookie sheet. Add a few pecan pieces on top of each cookie. (I prefer to add more as I love the flavor and texture.)
  • Place baking sheet in the oven and bake for 9-11 minutes, or until cookies are set. They will be puffy and should not appear wet.
