These insanely delicious browned butter cookies are heavily loaded with buttered pecans and have a rich flavour and chewy texture. Love the combo of salty and sweet? They're rolled in a mixture of sugar and salt before baking, which gives them over-the-top flavour. If you don't have pecans you can substitute equal amounts of walnuts or hazelnuts or even pistachios. You can also add a mix of butterscotch and chocolate chips for an even more indulgent treat.

- Toast the chopped pecans and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant and browned, about 5 minutes.
- Cook the remaining butter in a light-coloured pan over medium-high heat. Once melted, the butter will begin to foam and sizzle around the edges. Keep stirring. In about 6-8 minutes, the butter will turn toasty brown and smell nutty and buttery. Pour into a bowl or pan to stop the butter from cooking further. Set aside to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
- Add coconut sugar and vanilla sugar to the cooled browned butter. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat until incorporated, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar, increase mixer speed to medium-high, and beat until mixture lightens and begins to thicken, about 2 minutes.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and add flour mixture and beat just to combine. Mix in buttered pecans with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
- Cover the bowl, and chill for about 4 hours or overnight. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line two baking trays with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Mix 70 grams sugar and 1 teaspoon sea salt in a bowl. Use a spoon to scoop 2" balls (about 55 g each) of dough into the sugar/salt mixture, rolling to coat. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2" between them on all sides.
- Bake the cookies in the middle of the hot oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and firm but centers are still soft. Let cool on baking sheets 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough. Store cookies, well wrapped in an airtight container, at room temperature for up to a week.
I think I could probably eat a double batch of those!
