Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Chopped pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the cookies stay tender.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly underbaked.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your Texas-sized cookies with a tall glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
