Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup browned butter
  • 1 2/3 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1.5 cups chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Simmer until the colour changes to a medium brown colour. Set the butter aside to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375° and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or large bowl, beat the butter and sugars together until well combined. Add in the egg and the vanilla and mix until the batter looks nice and smooth.
  • Add in the flour, baking soda and salt and mix until just combined and then add in the chocolate chips and pecans. Fold those in until both are evenly distributed through the batter.
  • Scoop out the cookie batter into 1.5 tablespoon balls. Space them 1-2" apart on the baking sheet. Gently flatten with the palm of your hand.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool for 2 minutes and then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
