Ingredients
- 1½ cup butter
- 2 cups soft brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips/chocolate chunks
- 1 cup chopped pecan nuts
Instructions
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
- Cream together the room temperature butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- I use my stand mixer but you can use a hand mixer and large bowl too.
- Scrape down the bowl with a spatula then add the eggs, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and a teaspoon salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Beat until just combined then add the pecan nuts and chocolate chunks.
- Using an ice cream or cookie scoop, scoop the dough and place on the prepared cookie sheets.
- Space the cookies a few centimeters apart as they will spread while baking. Place in the fridge and allow to chill for 30 minutes.
- Place the cookie sheets in the oven and allow to bake for 7-10 minutes until the edges are crisp but the center of the cookies are still a little soft.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes on the pans then transfer to wire racks and allow to cool.
- I like finishing the cookies with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt but that is optional.
