1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. This ensures even baking and a lovely golden color.
2. In a large mixing bowl,  cream together the softened  butter, brown sugar substitute, and granulated sugar substitute until the mixture is smooth and  creamy. This forms the basis for delicious  cookies while keeping the points in check.
3. Gently blend in the egg (or applesauce) and vanilla extract to add moisture and a delightful aroma to your cookies.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour (or your preferred combination), baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution and prevent clumps.
5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the  buttery blend and stir until it forms a consistent dough. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients.
6. Fold in the toasted  pecans. This step adds a delightful nutty flavor and crunch to the  cookies.
7. Use a  cookie scoop or your hands to form balls of dough and place them on a baking sheet, ensuring enough space between each.
8. Bake the  cookies in your preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they achieve a lovely golden hue.
9. Once baked, allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Once cooled, they are ready to enjoy!
