Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Chocolate chunks
- 0.75 cup Toasted pecans (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift 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.
Gently fold in the chocolate chunks, toasted pecans, and orange zest using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls 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 soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Cuckoo Cookies with a cold glass of milk or a cup of tea!
