Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep the tray
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so the cookies lift off easily.
Cream butter and sugars
Mix the butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar for 2–3 minutes, until the mixture looks creamy and lighter in color.
Add vanilla
Pour in the vanilla and mix briefly. Scrape down the bowl to keep everything evenly combined.
Add flour (and salt) and bring the dough together
Add the flour (and salt if using) in a couple of additions. Mix just until you don’t see dry flour; avoid overmixing.
Fold in the pecans
Stir in the chopped pecans until they’re spread throughout the dough.
Portion the cookies
Scoop walnut-sized portions, roll lightly, and place them on the sheet with space between. Press very gently if you want a more even spread.
Bake and cool
Bake for 9 minutes. Pull them out when the edges barely start to turn golden. Let them sit on the tray for 5 minutes, then move to a rack to cool fully.
