Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons 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 whole pecans, roughly chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the 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 until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure soft, tender cookies.
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped pecans using a spatula or spoon.
Scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheets using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, leaving about 2 inches of space between cookies to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. This ensures a chewy texture.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your bakery-beating chocolate pecan cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container for up to a week!
