Indulge in the perfect blend of crunchy nuts and gooey chocolate for a comforting treat tonight!

1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

2

In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened butter, 1 cup of brown sugar, and 1 cup of granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

3

Add in 2 eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition. Then stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

4

In another bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, blending on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6

Fold in 1 cup of chopped pecans and 2 cups of chocolate chips using a spatula.

7

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them 2 inches apart.

8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly soft; that's okay.

9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
