做法

分步操作

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

   约 5分钟

   烹饪提示： Using parchment paper prevents the cookies from sticking and makes cleanup much easier.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

   约 2分钟

3. 3

   In a separate large bowl, using an electric mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and creamy.

   约 3分钟

   烹饪提示： Creaming the butter and sugars well incorporates air, which helps give the cookies a lighter texture.

4. 4

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

   约 2分钟

   烹饪提示： Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next to ensure a stable emulsion.

5. 5

   Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

   约 2分钟

   烹饪提示： Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough cookies.

6. 6

   Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and chopped pecans with a spatula until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

   约 1分钟

7. 7

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator.

   约 30分钟

   烹饪提示： Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too much while baking and deepens the flavor.

8. 8

   Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 5cm (2 inches) of space between each one.

   约 5分钟

   烹饪提示： A cookie scoop ensures evenly sized cookies that will bake uniformly.

9. 9

   Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. The cookies might look slightly underdone in the middle.

   约 12分钟

10. 10

    Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    约 5分钟

    烹饪提示： Letting them set on the hot pan allows the centers to finish cooking without overbaking the edges.
