- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups roughly chopped pecans
Instructions
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir for about 3 minutes until golden specks form in butter it begins to smell nutty. Remove browned butter from heat and pour into a heatproof bowl. Refrigerate brown butter for 20-30 minutes to cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- Transfer browned butter to the bowl of a stand mixer and add the dark brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat for 1 minute on high speed to combine.

- Bake for 9-10 minutes until edges are just set and centers are still soft. Remove from oven. Let cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.
