Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Pecans, chopped
- 1 cup Caramel baking bits
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the chopped pecans and caramel baking bits using a spatula until evenly distributed in the dough.
Scoop tablespoons of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden while the centers remain soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy!
