How to Make Irresistible Butter Pecan Cookies

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Toast the pecans in the oven for 8-10 minutes, checking frequently until golden brown.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Gradually add all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing gently until just combined.
  • Fold in the toasted pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden.
  • Cool for a few moments on sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Optional: Sprinkle with sea salt for extra flavor. For a twist, add chocolate chips or swap pecans for walnuts.
