Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter, softened (See Tip 1)
  • ¾ cup (5.25 ounces) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (5.63 ounces) firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon table salt (See Tip 2)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups (10 ounces) all-purpose flour (See Tip 3)
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup toasted pecan pieces (See Tip 4)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line cookie sheets with silicone or parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars on medium speed until they come together, about 1 minute. Add the egg and vanilla. Beat on medium speed just until the mixture is combined, about 30 seconds. Add the salt and baking soda; beat on medium just until combined, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the flour; beat on low just until combined, about 30 seconds. Fold in the chocolate chips and toasted pecans. Do not over mix the dough.
  • Drop the cookies 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets using a small ice cream scoop. Flatten cookie dough to about ⅜-inch thick with a wet hand. (See Tip 5)
  • Bake in preheated 350° F oven for 12 minutes or until the edges and centers are brown. Allow to cool for 5 minutes on cookie sheet. Remove the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store in an air-tight container.
  • Yield: 6 dozen cookies. (See Tip 6)

Notes

  1. You can also use unsalted butter in this recipe.
  2. If using unsalted butter, increase the amount of salt by ¼ teaspoon to a total of 1 ¼ teaspoons.
  3. I used Gold Medal bleached all-purpose flour because of its low protein content. The low protein content minimizes gluten formation and results in a lighter and crispier cookie. I've also used White Lily bleached flour
  4. To toast the pecans, spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350° F oven for 8 or 9 minutes until lightly toasted. Watch carefully.
  5. My smallest ice cream scoop is about 1 ¼ inches in diameter. If you don't have an ice cream scoop, then you can use a tablespoon to drop the cookies. To ensure round cookies, wet your hands and roll the dropped dough into a ball. Then, flatten the dough with a wet hand to about ⅜ of an inch.
  6. To make half a recipe, use the following:
½ cup salted butter (1 stick)
⅜ cup (2.63 ounces) granulated sugar
⅜ cup (2.82 ounces) dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (5 ounces) all-purpose flour
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup toasted pecans
