Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Brown the Butter: Melt unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Cool the Butter: Transfer the browned butter to a heat-proof bowl and let it cool for about an hour in the refrigerator.
  3. Cream Ingredients: In a stand mixer bowl, combine cooled butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar; beat until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients until well combined, avoiding over-mixing.
  5. Add Mix-ins: Gently fold in chocolate chips and toasted pecans with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  6. Portion the Dough: Use a cookie scoop to portion dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
  7. Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden around the edges.
  8. Cool: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
