Instructions
1
First, make butter pecans. Add butter and pecans to a skillet over low medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes or until lightly toasted.
2
Once toasted, place pecans on a paper towel to soak up excess butter.
3
Then, make cookie dough. In a large mixing bowl, add butter, light brown sugar and white sugar. Mix on high until completely combined and no clumps of butter remain.
4
Then, add in eggs and vanilla. Mix to combine.
5
Add in flour, baking soda and sea salt. Stir to combine.
6
Fold in butter pecans.
7
Place plastic wrap over bowl. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour up to overnight.
8
After chilling, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
9
Roll dough into 1 inch balls. Place on lined pan. Sprinkle white sugar on top if desired.
10
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are golden and the cookies are barely set in the middle.
11
Finally, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Brown Your Butter First 🧈Toast the unsalted butter over medium heat until it turns golden and nutty (about 5-7 minutes), then cool before creaming—this adds deep, complex flavor that elevates the entire cookie.
- Toast Your Pecans for Maximum Crunch 🥜Lightly toast pecans at 350°F for 8-10 minutes before chopping and adding to the dough to intensify their buttery flavor and ensure optimal crunchiness in every bite.
- Chill Dough for Perfect Texture Control ❄️Refrigerate your dough for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to prevent spreading and achieve those signature golden chewy edges with a soft center you're targeting.
- Use a Combination of Sugars Strategically 🍯The granulated sugar creates crispness while light brown sugar adds moisture and chewiness—don't substitute one for the other, as this balance is crucial for the desired texture.
- Bake on Parchment and Underbake Slightly ⏱️Remove cookies from the oven when edges are set but centers still look slightly underdone (they'll continue cooking on the hot pan), then transfer to parchment immediately for even cooking and perfect texture retention.
