Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup pecan halves, toasted and chopped

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

      Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

          Mix Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

            Fold in Pecans and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the toasted and chopped pecans along with the chocolate chips if you're using them.

              Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, but the centers are still soft.

                  Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve: Enjoy your Butter Pecan Cookies with a glass of milk or favorite beverage!
