  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt

Notes

Storage tips: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Make-ahead instructions: Dough can be portioned and frozen on a baking sheet, then stored in a freezer bag for up to 3 months; bake from frozen, adding 1-2 extra minutes. Substitutions: Walnuts can replace pecans; light brown sugar can be used for a milder flavor. Serving suggestions: Enjoy warm with a glass of milk or crumbled over vanilla ice cream.
