Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Toast chopped pecans with 1 ½ tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until fragrant. Let cool.
- Brown the 1 cup unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden, 5-7 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, mix browned butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in eggs one at a time, then vanilla.
- Gradually fold in dry ingredients until no flour streaks remain.
- Fold in toasted pecans. Cover dough and chill for at least 3 hours or up to 3 days.
- Let chilled dough sit at room temp 30 minutes if overly firm. Scoop into 3 tablespoon balls (60g) and place 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
- Bake on middle rack until edges just turn golden, 9-12 minutes. Centers will look soft.
- Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: roll dough in sugar before baking, sprinkle sea salt after, or add pecan halves to tops before baking.
Notes
Store cookies in airtight container at room temp for up to 5 days. To freeze, layer with parchment in a freezer-safe bag or container. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
