Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 6 tablespoons white sugar
- 6 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ cup salted butter, cold
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup pecans, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
- Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, white sugar, and brown sugar to a medium mixing bowl.
- Cut the cold butter into half-inch chunks and put it into another large mixing bowl. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix at medium speed until creamy and combined.
- TIP: Using cold butter ensures the dough is nice and cold before going into the oven. If the dough isn’t cold enough after prep, chill the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients in cups, mixing between additions.
- Once combined, fold in the chocolate chunks, chips, and chopped pecans using a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Take about 2 tablespoons of the dough (or 1 tablespoon for smaller cookies) and shape it into balls.
- Place the dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 3 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 6 minutes.
- TIP: The high oven temperature ensures that the cookies are crispy on the outside while remaining gooey and soft on the inside.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet.
Notes
- Make sure to use cold butter for a better texture and shape.
- If you want your cookies to be extra chewy, slightly underbake them and allow them to cool on the baking sheet.
- Feel free to substitute the pecans with other nuts like walnuts or skip them entirely for a nut-free version.
