Instructions

  • Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
For an extra chocolatey flavor, you can substitute half of the semi-sweet chocolate chunks with dark chocolate chunks.
If you prefer, you can use walnuts instead of pecans for a different nutty flavor.
