4 Star Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Ready In: 30 mins
Serves: 8
Yields: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 1⁄4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter or 1 cup margarine, at room temperature
- 2⁄3 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chunks (mini Hershey's kisses work well)
- 1 1⁄4 cups pecans, coarsely chopped
Directions
- Heat oven to 325 degrees.
- Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Beat together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until blended. Stir in flour mixture until well blended and dough forms. Stir in the chocolate chunks and chopped pecans.
- Using a 1/4 cup measure, drop dough by slightly rounded mounds onto large un-greased baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake at 325 degrees 15 to 17 minutes, until golden brown around the edges and lightly colored on top.
- Remove from baking sheets to a wire rack to cool for about 3 minutes. Remove the cookies with a metal spatula from the baking sheet to a wire rack to cool completely.
