Chewy Chocolate-Pecan Cookies


Chewy Chocolate-Pecan Cookies
Makes about 3 dozen cookies
Tip: Using half semi sweet chocolate chips and half milk chocolate chips gives a truly decadent cookie.


2 cups brown sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs, room temperature
2 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup pecan, chopped

Preheat oven to 350∞ F and line two cooking sheets with parchment paper.
In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment blend brown sugar, vanilla, and butter until uniform. Add eggs one at a time scraping down bowl after each addition.
In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients and gradually add to egg mixture until almost combined.
Fold in chocolate chips and pecan being careful not to over mix batter.
Drop tablespoons of batter onto prepared cookie sheets about an inch and a half apart and don’t flatten them.
Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of your cookies.
