Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in the chopped pecans evenly throughout the dough.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets about two inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft.
Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
