# Detailed Preparation Steps:

01 - Let the cookies rest on the sheets for a bit, then move them to wire racks to finish cooling.
02 - Place dollops of dough about 5 cm apart on lined sheets, then bake at 175°C for 10 to 12 minutes until edges turn golden but centers stay soft.
03 - Gently stir the chopped toasted pecans into the dough so they keep their crunch.
04 - Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl, then slowly mix into the wet mix until just combined.
05 - Beat in the egg and vanilla to the fluffy butter and sugars until it’s smooth and mixed.
06 - Whip butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a big bowl until it’s light and airy, about 3 minutes.
07 - Heat the oven to 175°C and cover your baking sheets with parchment so cookies won’t stick.
