Step-by-Step Instructions for Pecan Pie Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Spread the chopped pecans on a baking sheet and toast them for about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add in the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then blend in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, then gradually mix into the wet ingredients.
  6. Fold in the toasted pecans and chocolate chips, if using.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the lined baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden, but the centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve your delicious Pecan Pie Cookies warm or at room temperature.
