- Yield: 3 Dozen Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 2/3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup shortening
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a medium sized bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl beat together (on medium speed) brown sugar, white sugar, shortening, vanilla extract and eggs until fully combined.
- Slowly add the flour mixture in installments of 2-3 groups and mix on low speed until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and pecans then stir by hand (or on low speed) until evenly distributed.
- Gently roll about 2-3 TBS of cookie dough into balls and place them, evenly spaced, on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes until barely starting to turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to finish baking on the cookie sheet for 2-4 minutes until the dome top has settled into lumps and the cookies are firm enough to transfer to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
