Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir continuously until the butter foams and turns a golden brown color, giving off a nutty aroma. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 cup brown sugar. Mix well until the sugars are fully incorporated.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, and then stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- For the best flavor and texture, cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours if you have the time.
- While the dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Tasty Browned Butter Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies!
