Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Prep the baking trays by lining them with parchment paper and set aside. Melt the butter in the microwave or using a double boiler method and set aside to cool for at least 10 minutes while you prep the rest of your ingredients.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, add in flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt. Mix together and set aside.

Step 3

Caramelize the pecans. In a medium pot, add the butter and melt. Then add in chopped pecans and mix for 3-4 minutes on medium-high heat until toasted.

Step 4

In a large bowl, add in melted and cooled butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Whisk until well combined.

Step 5

Add in eggs and vanilla and continue whisking.

Step 6

Add in the dry ingredients and using a spatula, gently fold until a sticky batter forms.

Step 7

Add in the cooled caramelized pecans and keep mixing. Don't over-mix!

Step 8

Place into the fridge for 45 minutes-1 hour (You can also make before-hand and chill overnight!).

Step 9

Once chilled, scoop 6 cookies per baking tray spaced 2-3 inches apart. Add a pecan or two on top of each cookie.

Step 10

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are a golden brown and the middle is slightly puffy. Allow the cookies to sit on the baking tray after baking as they continue to bake from the hot pan for 5-10 minutes.
