Recipe type: Dessert, Cookie
Serves: 4 dozen
Ingredients
  • 1¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 1¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ pound butter, softened*
  • 4 eggs
  • 2¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 cups flour
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 8-10 oz chopped pecans
  • 20 oz chocolate chips (mix of dark, milk chocolate and white as available)
*The original recipe called for a pound of butter, but I only had ¾ pound (3 large sticks). The cookies still turned out great. This makes a large number of cookies (almost 4 dozen for me).
Instructions
  1. Combine soft butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in mixing bowl and cream ingredients for about one minute until the mixture is light and fluffy in texture.
  2. Add eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract, mixing after each egg.
  3. Mix the batter on high for a few minutes until it becomes light in texture.
  4. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
  5. Add the dry mixture to the butter, sugar and egg mixture and mix until combined.
  6. Mix in all chocolate chips and pecans.
  7. Chill thoroughly in refrigerator (at least 30 minutes).
  8. Portion cookies onto parchment lined cookie sheet.
  9. Bake at 350ºF for 8-10 minutes or light golden brown for soft chewy cookies. Bake longer (10-14 minutes) for crispier cookies. Rotate pan half way through baking.**
*After chilling the dough, my cookies needed 12-14 minutes of baking time, but this will vary based on how long you've chilled your cookies and your oven.
