Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line ungreased baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat together on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in a large egg and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds.
  4. Sift in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until a dough begins to form.
  5. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop about 2-3 tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers are soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
