Ingredients
½ cup unsalted butter
⅓ cup brown sugar

¼ teaspoon baking powder
Pinch sea salt
½ cup pecans, chopped

Instructions
- Mix butter, brown sugar, and coconut sugar in a medium mixing bowl with a hand-mixer on medium-high speed for 1 minute.
- Add the vanilla and the egg. Mix for another minute at medium-high speed.
- Combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt) in a small bowl. Whisk to incorporate the leavening and salt evenly.

- Space cookies 1 inch apart on 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.
