Ingredients
- ½ Cup Granulated sugar

- 2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 2 and ½ Cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 and ½ Cups Chopped chocolate bars
- 1 Cup Roughly chopped pecans
Instructions
- Get a medium-sized heat-proof bowl ready with you. We will be using it later.
- Segment the butter into small pieces and place in a light-colored fry pan or a large pot.
- We choose the light color as it helps you to understand the color change of the butter.
- Melt the butter over medium heat and stir repeatedly.
- You can see the butter foaming when it is melted. Continue stirring.
- You can notice the color of the butter changed into brown after 5 to 7 minutes.
- You can also see brown-colored spots at the bottom of the pan.
- You can feel the smell of nuts when the spots are formed.
- Remove the pan from heat once the butter is brown.
- Pour the butter into the bowl that is already ready.
- You can also include the spots or the specks formed at the bottom of the pan.
- Let the brown butter cool for 5 minutes.
- Longer duration for cooling may cause the thickening of butter and you will not get the expected texture for your cookies.
- Pour brown sugar and granulated sugar into the brown butter and mix it gently.
- Add the mix into the extract of eggs and vanilla. Beat it and put it aside.
- Now let us take another bowl to beat and mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Now combine the wet and dry ingredients.
- Now is the time for chopped chocolate pecans.

- Dough that is refrigerated for more than 30 minutes must reach room temperature before baking. Or the dough will break easily.
