Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix first 4 ingredients in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, vanilla and almond extract in large bowl until blended. Add egg; beat until fluffy. Beat in flour mixture. Stir pecans and chocolate pieces into dough.
- Using 2 tablespoonfuls dough for each cookie, drop dough mounds onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Press tops slightly to flatten.
- Bake cookies until edges begin to brown but centers are still soft, about 13 minutes. Let cool on sheets 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to racks; cool completely. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.)
Tips:
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate. - To achieve a chewy texture, slightly underbake the cookies. - Chopped or crumbled pecans can be used instead of pecan halves for a different texture. - For a sweeter cookie, add an extra ¼ cup of sugar. - For a hint of saltiness, add a pinch of salt to the dough. - Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much. - Line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent the cookies from sticking.Conclusion:
These chocolate chunk and pecan cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor, chewy texture, and crunchy pecans, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. Be sure to experiment with different types of chocolate and add-ins to create your own unique variations of this classic recipe.
