Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 190 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 150 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
- 75 grams Chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped pecans using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Scoop out tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls on 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 lightly golden. The centers may still appear slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Easy Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or cup of coffee!
