Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped

1/2 cup toffee bits (optional, for added crunch)

Sea salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions
 

Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

      Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.

        Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix!

          Fold in Pecans: Gently fold in the toasted pecans and toffee bits (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

            Scoop out the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Chill the Dough: For best results, chill the cookie dough on the baking sheets in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.

                Bake the Cookies: Remove the cookie sheets from the refrigerator and sprinkle a little sea salt on top of each cookie. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.

                  Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

                    Serve and Enjoy: These cookies are delicious warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your buttery, crunchy pecan delights with a glass of milk!
