Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
First, mix together butter, brown sugar, regular sugar, vanilla, and milk.
In a separate bowl, mix together dry ingredients: flour, salt, and baking powder.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, and stir until combined.
Next, fold in the chopped pecans until evenly dispersed.
Using a cookie scooper, place equal amounts of dough into round circles on your baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes or until sides look golden brown. Let cool.
Enjoy!
