Ingredients
- 1 stick butter softened
- 1 C brown sugar packed
- 1/2 C granulated white sugar
- 2 eggs large
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 1/4 C all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 8 oz chocolate chips Milk or semi-sweet, high quality.
- 1 C pecan pieces
Instructions
- Line two cookies sheets with parchment paper or use silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, use a mixer to beat the butter and sugars until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time. Beat in vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients one cup at a time until well combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips and pecans.
- Place dough in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes. This is an important step, so don't skip it. Your cookies will spread a lot more if you don't chill the dough first.
- As soon as the dough is out of the freezer, use your hands to make 30 rounded mounds of dough, spacing about 2 inches on the cookies sheets. (Do not press them down).
- Bake cookies for 16 to 18 minutes or until cookies turn light brown on top and crisp around the edges.
- Rotate cookie sheets halfway through baking time. Let cool for five minutes on cookie sheets. Cool completely on a wire rack or enjoy them warm right away.
