Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pecans toasted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup toffee bits

Method
 

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    Toast pecans in a dry pan over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, then let cool and chop.
      Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
        Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
          In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually mix into wet ingredients.
            Fold in toasted pecans and toffee bits.
              Scoop dough onto baking sheet, spacing cookies apart.
                Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set and centers are slightly soft.
                  Cool on the baking tray before transferring.

                    Notes

                    Toast pecans for best flavor. Chill dough if too soft before baking. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Avoid overbaking to keep them soft and chewy.
