Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 340°F/ 170°C (fan oven 300°F/ 150°C). Line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and both types of sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Scrape the walls of the bowl a couple of times in between.1 cup unsalted butter / 225 g + 1 ¼ cup soft light brown sugar / 250 g + ½ cup granulated sugar/ 100 g
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, at medium-high speed, scraping the bowl after each addition. Add vanilla extract and incorporate.2 large eggs + ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  4. Mix flour, salt, and baking soda in another bowl. Sieve the mixture over the butter-sugar mixture. Mix well on medium-low to get a smooth dough (about ½ minute).3 ⅛ cups all-purpose flour/ 400 g + ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt + 2 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and the chopped nuts using a rubber spatula or a spoon.¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips / 125 g + ¾ cup pecans 125 g
  6. Form similar-sized balls (about 1.8-2 oz/ 50-55 g each). Place 6 of them on each tray, ensuring enough space between them (they will spread).
  7. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes until lightly golden brown around the edges. 11 minutes will yield chewier, softer cookies; after 13 minutes, they will be a bit crispier.
  8. Let them rest on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Baking sheets: If you use a fan-assisted oven, you can bake two trays of cookies at a time.
  • Measurements: Using a digital kitchen scale (the Amazon affiliate link opens in a new tab) to measure the ingredients guarantees the best results. This recipe is developed using the metric system and works best when used that way.
  • Butter: Preferably European-style butter with a high-fat content (82%).
  • Chocolate: You can use your favorite sort: semi-sweet, dark, milk or white chocolate.
  • Substitute pecans with walnuts, macadamia, or other nuts.
