Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together.
In a small saucepan over medium high heat, melt 10 Tablespoons of the Butter and cook for about 3 - 4 minutes or until just starting to brown. Be careful not to burn as this stage can burn easily.
Remove butter from heat and add in the remaining 4 Tablespoons of Butter and stir until melted, it will start to foam a bit, but keep stirring, it will settle.
Pour the melted Butter into the dry ingredients mixture and mix using a hand held or stand mixer. Add the Vanilla extract and continue to mix until well blended.
Add in the whole Egg and mix well, then add in the Egg Yolk, again mixing well.
Turn off the mixer and now fold in the Chocolate and Pecans and mix through cookie dough.
On a lined cookie sheet, using a cookie scoop or large spoon, drop the cookie dough about 2 inches apart.
Bake in 375°F pre-heated oven for 10 - 14 minutes or until cookies are golden brown.
Allow to cool on wire rack.
Serve with smile.
