Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chunks and chopped pecans.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
