Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 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
Mix-Ins:
- 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until fully combined.
- Add Mix-Ins: Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
- Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are still soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra chewy cookies, slightly underbake and let them finish setting on the tray.
- Toast the pecans for added depth of flavor.
- Dough can be chilled for 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
