<\/span><\/h3>\nStep 1: Preheat and Prepare<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Step 2: Toast the Pecans<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Spread the chopped pecans evenly on a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and let them cool.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- \n
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Step 4: Dry Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Step 5: Combine and Fold<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- \n
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix, as this can lead to tougher cookies.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Gently fold the toasted pecans into the dough using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Step 6: Shape the Cookies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Scoop tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls about one inch in size. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about two inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Step 7: Bake and Cool<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- \n
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers appear set.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
