Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened (1 cup)
- 1½ cups packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup roughly chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Optional: Toast pecans in a skillet over medium heat for 5–7 minutes for extra flavor.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups of flour (reserving 2 tbsp for later), baking soda, and salt.
- Add eggs and vanilla to the creamed mixture, blending well and scraping the bowl to ensure even mixing.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips and pecans.
- Sprinkle the reserved 2 tbsp of flour over the dough and mix briefly to prevent spreading.
- Roll dough into 1.5–2 inch balls, place 12 on a baking sheet, and bake for 9 minutes.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- No chilling required: This recipe is designed to bake right away. The extra flour helps prevent spreading.
- Make ahead: Prepare the dough in advance and store it in the fridge, skipping the extra 2 tbsp of flour if you chill the dough.
- Storage: Baked cookies last up to 3 days at room temperature or freeze the dough for up to 3 months.
