Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup Crystal Sugar Dark Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Crystal Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour*
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips + more for garnish
  • 1 1/2 cups pecan halves, chopped + more for garnish
  • *Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.
