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 pecans, chopped (toasted for enhanced flavor)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for a sweet twist)

Instructions
 

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

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.

      Add Egg and Vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until well combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

          Incorporate Pecans: Fold in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips (if using) gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

            Scoop and Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie for spreading.

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

                Cool Down: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, serve these delicious Butter Pecan Delight Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage. Enjoy your baking masterpiece!
