Preheat oven to 350º with racks in upper and lower thirds. Whisk together flour, salt and baking soda to combine. Beat butter and sugars on medium speed until very light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in egg, then egg yolk, until thoroughly incorporated. Beat in vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until just combined (do not over mix). Beat in white chocolate and pecans until just combined. Place scoops of dough 3 inches apart on parchment lined baking sheets with a 4-ounce (2 3/4 inch) ice cream scoop. (If you don't have a 4-ounce scoop, measure level 1/2 Cups of dough and roll them into balls.). Gently press to flatten. Bake cookies, rotating pans and switching racks halfway through, until golden but still soft in the center, about 14 minutes. Let cool slightly on baking sheets. Serve warm, or transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Store up,to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.
