Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup pecans, chopped

1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

      Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

        In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

          Fold in the chopped pecans and white chocolate chips (if using).

            Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.

                Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
