Equipment

  • Mixing bowls (one large, one medium)
  • Electric hand mixer or stand mixer (optional but helpful)
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Rubber spatula or wooden spoon
  • Parchment Paper
  • Baking sheet
  • Cooling rack
  • Ice cream scoop or tablespoon

Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips milk or dark
  • 1 cup pecans

Instructions

  • Step 1: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. This helps create that irresistible cookie texture.
  • Step 2: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until everything is fully combined. Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother blend.
  • Step 3: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add this dry mix into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Step 4: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans. Don't overmix—just enough to evenly distribute the goodies.
  • Step 5: Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, form the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Step 6: Chill the dough balls in the fridge for at least 1 hour. This step enhances the flavor and texture. You can also freeze them for baking later.
  • Step 7: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Space the dough balls about 3 inches apart on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, until the edges are golden.
  • Step 8: Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm—or save some for later if you can resist!

Tips

  • Let your butter and egg come to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Chill the dough for better flavor and texture—don’t skip it!
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  • Prefer crispier cookies? Bake a few minutes longer.
  • Try mixing in white chocolate chips or dried fruit for fun variations.
  • Want a nuttier flavor? Toast the pecans beforehand.
