Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | unsalted butter |
| 3/4 | light-brown sugar |
| 1/4 | granulated sugar |
| 1/2 | salt |
| 1 | pure vanilla extract |
| 1 | egg |
| 2 cups | all-purpose flour |
| 1/2 tsp | baking soda |
| 1 cup | chopped pecans |
| 8 oz | white chocolate, chopped |
| 30 | pecan halves |
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). 🌡️
- Prepare Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with silpat nonstick baking mats or parchment paper.
- Cream Butter & Sugars: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the unsalted butter, light-brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 4 minutes.
- Add Flavor: Add the salt and pure vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until well combined.
- Incorporate Egg: Crack in the egg, and continue beating until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda.
- Mix Wet & Dry: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture while mixing on low speed. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Pecans & Chocolate: Gently fold in the chopped pecans and white chocolate pieces until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop & Arrange: Using a 1-ounce ice-cream scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out dough and place about 6 balls on each prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are spaced about 3 inches apart.
- Shape & Garnish: Flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand, and press a pecan half into the center of each cookie for a beautiful finish.
- Bake & Rotate: Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Rotate the baking sheets between the oven shelves for even baking, then continue baking for an additional 6 to 8 minutes, or until the cookies are just beginning to brown around the edges.
- Cool & Enjoy: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Repeat: Repeat the process with the remaining cookie dough, ensuring to give each batch enough space to spread and bake to perfection.
These Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies are best enjoyed warm with a glass of milk, shared with friends, or simply savored on your own for a moment of pure bliss! 🥛✨
