RECIPE
Step 1
Place the butter in pan over medium-low heat. Allow it to melt, then boil, then sizzle and turn nutty-brown.
Step 2
Pour the browned butter into a heat-safe dish, and allow it to cool and solidify.
Step 3
Place the solidified brown butter in a large mixing bowl, along with the brown sugar.
Step 4
Beat on medium-high speed until very pale and fluffy.
Step 5
Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, mixing until combined.
Step 6
Add the flour, toasted chopped pecans, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, mixing just until combined.
Step 7
Use a 1.5-tablespoon scoop to portion the dough into balls on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 8
Sprinkle the unbaked cookies with demerara sugar and press a pecan half into each one.
Step 9
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until set around the edges but still very soft towards the middle.
