🛒 What You’ll Need
🧈 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
🍚 1 cup brown sugar, packed
🍚 ½ cup granulated sugar
🥚 2 large eggs
🍦 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
🌾 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
🥄 1 teaspoon baking soda
🧂 ½ teaspoon salt
🍫 2 cups chocolate chips
🌰 1½ cups chopped pecans
👩🍳 How to Make Them
1️⃣ Cream the butter and sugars.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy.
2️⃣ Add the eggs and vanilla.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla.
3️⃣ Mix the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
4️⃣ Bring it all together.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
5️⃣ Fold in the good stuff! 😋
Gently stir in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
6️⃣ Scoop the dough.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving a little room between each cookie.
7️⃣ Bake.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly soft.
8️⃣ Let them rest.
Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
✨ Want to Make Them Your Own?
🍫 Use dark, milk, or semi-sweet chocolate chips.
🌰 Toast the pecans first for an even deeper nutty flavor.
🧂 Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky salt over the cookies while they're still warm.
🥥 Add a handful of shredded coconut for a fun twist.
💡 A Little Tip
Don't overbake them! The cookies will continue to set as they cool. Taking them out when the centers still look a little soft is the secret to that wonderful chewy texture. 🍪❤️
