  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 large Egg

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda

  • Wire Rack

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Melt unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and nutty.
  2. Pour the browned butter into a heatproof bowl and let it cool for about an hour until it solidifies.
  3. In a stand mixer, cream the cooled browned butter with brown and granulated sugars for 2 minutes until fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix until well blended.
  5. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, then gradually add to wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and toasted pecans using a spatula until evenly dispersed.
  7. Portion dough onto a lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-12 minutes.
  8. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure the browned butter is fully cooled and solidified before creaming with sugars for the best texture. Do not overmix the dry ingredients into the wet to keep cookies tender.
