Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups (340g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (120g) chopped pecans, toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars:

    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla:

    • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
    • Mix in the vanilla extract.

  4. Add Dry Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

  5. Fold in the Chocolate Chips and Pecans:

    • Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans.

  6. Shape and Bake the Cookies:

    • Scoop the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft.
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

  7. Serve:

    • Enjoy warm or at room temperature with a glass of milk!

Notes

  • Make it extra chewy: Add 1 tbsp of cornstarch to the dry ingredients for an even chewier texture.
  • Add flavor: Add 1/2 tsp cinnamon for a warm, spiced twist.
  • Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
