Title: Chocolate-Pecan Chunk Cookies
Categories: Cookies, Chocolate
Yield: 1 servings
2 c All-purpose flour
1 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Salt
12 tb Unsalted butter; softened
1 c Packed light brown sugar
3/4 c Granulated sugar
2 lg Eggs; room temp
1 ts Vanilla extract
12 oz Semi-sweet chocolate
Cut into chunks (1/4")
1 c Macadamia nuts; coarsely
-chopped
1/2 c Pecans; coarsely chopped
Preheat oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with baking
parchment or aluminum foil.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda,
and salt. Sift the mixture.
In a large bowl, using a mixer set at low speed, beat the
butter for 30-45 seconds or until creamy. Gradually add the
sugars and beat at medium speed for 1-2 minutes or until
light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well
after each addition, then add the vanilla. Using a wooden
spoon, stir in the flour mixture. Add the chocolate chunks,
macadamia nuts and pecans, and stir until well combined.
Form the cookies by packing the dough into a 1/4-cup
measuring cup. Drop the formed dough onto the baking
sheets, leaving about 3 inches between cookies. Flatten the
dough slightly with the palm of your hand. Bake for 20-25
minutes or until lightly browned around the edges but still
slightly soft in the center. Cool the cookies on the baking
sheets for 3-5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to wire racks
to cool completely.
