Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Chopped pecans
- 1 teaspoon Flaky sea salt (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until fluffy and creamy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the pure vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked (they will set as they cool).
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on each cookie while they are still warm.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
