Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Chocolate chips
• 1 cup Pecans, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 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, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans (if using).

Step 7

Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup or an ice cream scoop, scoop out large portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 4 inches of space between each cookie. These will spread significantly.

Step 8

Flatten each cookie mound slightly with the palm of your hand to ensure even baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set. Be careful not to overbake.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Enjoy these Texas-sized cookies fresh from the oven or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
