Yield Makes about 18 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
3/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 large egg
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

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:

Use high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cookies.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
Let the cookies cool completely before eating them. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cookies to set properly.

Conclusion:

Chocolate chunk and pecan cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. By following these tips, you can make perfect chocolate chunk and pecan cookies every time.

These cookies are perfect for any occasion, from a casual gathering to a special holiday celebration. They are also a great gift for friends and family.
