Ingredients:
Ingredients required: – 1 cup of unsalted butter – 1 cup of granulated sugar – 1 cup of tightly packed light brown sugar – 1/4 teaspoon of salt – 1/4 cup of water – 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract – 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips – 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Preparations:
Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, and set it aside. Place the water, salt, white sugar, brown sugar, and butter in a sturdy pot.
