Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 100 grams chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped pecans using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers appear slightly soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve with a warm beverage and enjoy!
