Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter browned and cooled
  • 1.5 cups light brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp bourbon
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 2 cups pecans toasted and chopped
  • 1.5 cups chocolate chunks semisweet or dark chocolate

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, beat the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth.
  • Add the eggs, bourbon, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the chopped pecans and chocolate chunks.
  • Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
