# Detailed Directions:
01 -
Set the oven to 175°C and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry blend to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
05 -
Carefully fold the roasted chopped pecans into the dough to preserve texture.
06 -
Scoop dough portions roughly 5 cm apart onto the prepared sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are golden while centers remain soft.
07 -
Allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
