C is for ...

COOKIE! That's good enough for me!

Some days you just want a good ole chocolate chip cookie. Soft on the outside. Chewy on the inside. Buttery. Sweet. That's exactly what this cookie is. But with a bit of a bite since it has chopped pecans. A nice little twist on something so classic.


INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 cups + 1 tbsp unbleached all purpose flour 
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 sticks unsalted butter (a little colder than room temperature)
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
3/4 granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • Sift flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
  • In a mixer, beat butter until soft.
  • Add brown and granulated sugar to the mixer.
  • Beat until smooth and combined.
  • Add eggs one at a time. Then the vanilla.
  • Slowly add in the sifted dry ingredients. Start on a slow speed and add about a cup at a time.
    Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl in between.
  • Add the chocolate chips in 2 batches, making sure its evenly dispersed.
  • Lastly blend in chocolate chips
  • Refrigerate cookie dough for at least 2 hours. Can even be done over night.

    For uniform cookies, you can use a small ice cream/cookie scoop.
