Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Should be softened but not melted.
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour Can be substituted with gluten-free baking mix.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Reduce if using salted butter.
  • 1 cup chocolate chips Can swap half for white chocolate chips.
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans Toast for extra flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week, or freeze for up to three months. Chill dough if too sticky to handle. For variations, add cinnamon or use walnuts instead of pecans.
