Ingredients
- 2 cups pecans, chopped
- 4 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 cup butter divided into half
- flaky sea salt
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
- 2½ cups AP flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2½ cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Add the pecans and maple syrup to a skillet over medium heat. Stir often, until the pecans become nice and toasty and the maple syrup begins to thicken. This takes me about 5 minutes or so.
- Pour the candied pecans onto a cutting board and sprinkle with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Set these aside and let them cool.
- To brown the butter, add ½ cup of butter in a pan on medium heat. Do not walk away from this step. Stir often until the butter begins to brown. You will see it start to foam and, then, when the foam begins to dissipate, the brown bits should start to become visible. The brown butter also has a distinctive smell. It's rich and nutty. You'll definitely be able to tell.
- Once the butter is browned, remove from heat and transfer to a glass bowl. Let cool for about 5 minutes.
- Cream the cooled brown butter, remaining ½ cup butter, and sugars together. Mix in the eggs and vanilla.
- Add the flour and baking soda, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the candied pecans and semi sweet chocolate chips. You will need a little elbow grease here to ensure that all the pecans and chips are evenly distributed.
- Using a tablespoon scoop, portion dough balls onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Before you put the dough balls into the oven, give them a little tap on the top. Just to flatten them out slightly.
- Transfer to oven and bake for 10 minutes. The edges will be ever so slightly golden. Remove from heat and allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Make sure to let the cookie cool on the baking sheet for the full 5 minutes. They will continue to cook just a tad and will be perfect after a few minutes of rest.
