🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 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 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Chopped pecans

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).

3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the cookies stay tender.

6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underbaked.

9. 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.

10. Serve and enjoy your Texas-sized cookies with a tall glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
