Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter using an electric mixer on medium speed until it’s light and fluffy. Gradually add the firmly packed brown sugar and granulated sugar, beating continuously until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
3
Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until thoroughly combined.
4
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing well until no flour streaks remain.
5
Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped pecans, ensuring even distribution.
6
Using a rounded tablespoon, drop cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Lightly flatten each dollop with your fingertips to create a thicker, more substantial cookie.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them, as ovens can vary!
8
Once done, allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
