Ingredients
1
cup
butter
1
cup
brown sugar
packed
1/2
cup
granulated sugar
1
large egg + 1 egg yolk
1
tablespoon
vanilla extract
3
cups
all-purpose flour*
1
teaspoon
baking soda
3/4
teaspoon
kosher salt or scant 1/2 teaspoon table salt
2-4
ounce
semisweet baking chocolate bars
roughly chopped
1
cup
pecans
roughly chopped
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
Melt butter in a heavy saucepan.
Add brown sugar to a large bowl.
Pour melted butter over sugars.
Stir to combine butter and sugar. Let stand 5 minutes.
Add egg and egg yolk; stir to combine.
Stir in vanilla extract.
Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined.
Stir in chopped chocolate and pecans.
I like to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to give the ingredients a chance to meld.
Using a medium cookie scoop (1.5 tablespoon), drop scoops of dough 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet.
Bake for about 8-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
Let cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes. Remove to wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
*Be sure to avoid packing the flour when you measure. I fluff, scoop, and sweep.
