Delicious Butter Pecan Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 7 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• A pinch of salt
• Pecan halves for topping each cookie

Instructions:

1. Ensure your oven is preheated to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whisk together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and creamy.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then beat for an additional 2 minutes. Immediately incorporate flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until well combined.
4. Using a medium spatula, place cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets. Top each cookie with half a pecan.
5. Bake until the cookies turn golden brown, typically taking around 10 to 15 minutes.

Pro Tips:

• For an extra nutty flavor, toast the chopped pecans before adding them to the cookie dough.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
