Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the butterscotch chips and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dollops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers still look slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Ez Pecan Butterscotch Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee!
