Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 pieces 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 chunks
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Cream them together using a handheld or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix 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 on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the chocolate chunks, chopped walnuts, and chopped pecans using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, 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 lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
