Monster Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Not sure where this recipe came from but I love the soft chewy center and the crisp outside. I like to toast the pecans but they taste fine untoasted as well.

Time 33m

Yield 24-26 cookies, 24-26 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup pecans, chopped
1/2 cup flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Spray cookie sheets with baking spray.
  • toast pecans in oven or in saucepan over medium heat.
  • cream shortening, butter, and sugars.
  • add eggs and vanilla.
  • combine dry ingredients (3-1/2 cups flour, salt, and baking soda). Add them to the creamed mixture and stir well.
  • Stir in toasted pecans and chocolate chips.
  • Dip a 1/4 cup baking scoop into a bowl of extra flour, tap excess flour off the scoop (this will prevent dough from sticking to the scoop, redip in flour as needed).
  • drop cookie dough by 1/4 cupfuls onto greased cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart.
  • bake 13-15 minutes (13 for chewier cookie, 15 for crisper cookie).
  • cool on cookie sheet for about 5 minutes before removing from the baking sheet.
