- Scoop 6 cookie dough balls at a time, about 2-3 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet. Add an extra pecan on top.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes. My cookies took 13 minutes total. When the edges are a light golden brown and the inside will look very soft, the cookies are ready. Keep the cookies on the hot pan as they cool, as the middle will continue to bake from the high temperature of the pan. After about 5 minutes, transfer to a cooling rack.
