Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 350 g
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter 8 ounces/225 g, room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar 215 g, packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar 150 g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 egg room temperature, large
- 2 cups pecans about 225 g, toasted and chopped
- 16 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips or white chocolate chips, 450 g
- maldon salt for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- In a bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt
- In a separate bowl beat together butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition until incorporated. Slowly mix in flour mixture until incorporated (do not over mix!). Finally, stir in chocolate and nuts.
- Divide the dough into quarters. Roll each dough into a log about 9" long and wrap in plastic. Chill in the refrigerator for 24-36 hours.
- When ready to bake, adjust oven racks to upper and lower middle positions and preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Slice the logs into 3/4 inch disks and place them at least 3 inches apart on the baking sheets. Transfer to oven and bake until golden brown around edges but still soft, 10-12 minutes, rotating pans back to front and top and bottom half way through baking.
- Remove baking sheets from oven. While cookies are still hot, sprinkle very lightly with Maldon salt and gently press down to embed. Let cool for 2 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Baked cookies will store in an airtight container for 4 days. Unbaked dough can be refrigerated for up to a week or frozen for up to a month.
