Sexy Chocolate Chip Cookies

"There are a few recipes I am legendary for and this is one of them. This makes a thick, crisp, crumbly, almost shortbread textured cookie, as opposed to a soft and chewy cookie. Remember to beat the hell out of the sugar & butter, but be careful to gently fold dry ingredients. Make sure all ingredients are at cool room temperature.

directions

  • Toast pecans: Spread pecans in shallow pan and toast at 350 degrees until fragrant and lightly toasted, about 10 minutes.
  • Toast oatmeal: Spread oatmeal in shallow pan and toast at 350 degrees, just until oatmeal begins to change color, 5-10 minutes; watch closely. Let pecans and oatmeal completely cool.
  • Turn oven to 325 degrees. Cream butter and both sugars until very light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
  • In separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and toasted oatmeal. Fold into butter mixture *by hand* just until incorporated; do not overmix. Lightly fold in both chocolates and pecans, if using.
  • Use cookie scoop, place onto parchment-lined cookie sheets and press down with back of spoon to lightly flatten.
  • Bake at 325x for 20 minutes until an even light golden color. (If edges start to brown, oven is too hot.)
  • Remove from baking sheet and let cool on rack. Makes 1 dozen big or 2 dozen small cookies.
