Once you master a basic cookie dough, the mix-in options are endless. Everyday Food editor Sarah Carey shows you how to make this cookie with her favorite ingredients.
- Prep Time 20 minutes
- Total Time 35 minutes + cooling
- Yield Makes 36
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (12 ounces)
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, using a mixer, beat butter and sugars until pale and fluffy, 4 minutes. Add vanilla and eggs and beat until combined. Add flour mixture and beat until just combined. Mix in chocolate chips and pecans.

Drop dough in 2-tablespoon-size balls on parchment-lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake until cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the center, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on sheets 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks and let cool completely.

Sarah, this is by far the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever tried. And I have tried many believe me!!!!
I have made them 4 times already and everyone thinks they are the absolute best!!!

Great recipe! The cookies turned out to be delicious! We made ours with a combination of butterscotch and chocolate chips, and they were outstanding. Can't wait to try the other variations.
The basic recipe sounds great, but I want recipe for the mix-ins as well.
