Ingredients

(8 cookies approx.)

1/2 stick (57g) unsalted butter at room temperature
1 large egg at room temperature
1/3 cup (50g) raw cane sugar
1/8 cup (28g) brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup + 1/8 cup (62g) all purpose flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoon (2g) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon (2g) salt
1/2 cup (80g) dark chocolate chips (54% cocoa)
1/2 cup (50g) pecans or walnuts, coarsely chopped

Optional
1/4 cup (23g) rolled oats

Method

Preheat the oven at 350ºF (175ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat nonstick baking mat.

Put the butter and sugars in a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until the mixture is very smooth (around 3-4 minutes).

Stir in egg and vanilla extract.

Stir in flour, baking soda and salt.

Finally stir in chocolate chips, pecans or walnuts, and rolled oats. As you can see I used pecans.

When all the ingredients are combined, use a medium size ice cream scoop spoon (for example #24 red, 49mm) to put dough balls on the baking sheet, and squash each ball with the back of the spoon. Leave 2'' (5cm) between the cookies.

Bake until cookies are golden brown for around 13-15 minutes. Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack.
