🍪Chewy Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies 🍪

Ready for some great holiday cookies ?

Ingredients:🔥🔥🔥

1 cup unsalted butter, softened (not melted)

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped

Instructions:🔥🔥🔥

🔘Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a nonstick silicone mat.

🔘Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a stand mixer or hand mixer until well combined and creamy.

🔘Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract into the butter mixture, mixing until fully blended.

🔘Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing well after each addition until fully combined.

🔘Fold in Chocolate and Nuts: Gently stir in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

🔘Chill the Dough (Optional): For thicker, chewy cookies, refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. For thinner, crisper cookies, you can bake immediately.

🔘Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each scoop. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

🔘Cool and Store: Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
