Triple Chocolate Pecan Cookies

Triple Chocolate Pecan Cookies

Ingredients

    2 & 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1 cup unsalted butter, slightly firm
    3/4 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    2 large eggs
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate*, roughly chopped
    4 ounces bittersweet chocolate*, roughly chopped
    4 ounces white chocolate*, roughly chopped
    1 & 1/2 to 2 cups of toasted whole pecans

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°.

Mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Beat butter on medium-high speed until creamy, about 1 & 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add dark brown sugar and beat for 2-3 minutes. Add granulated sugar and beat for another 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Add vanilla and beat for about 30 seconds.

Gradually add dry ingredients. Stir in chocolates.

Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets (ungreased or with Silpats) about 3 inches apart. Do not crowd cookies because they will spread. Place two or three pecans on top of each mound of cookie dough.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until tops are just set and the edges are lightly browned.

Cool cookies for 4-5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

*Use any combination of chocolates you like.
