Deliciously rich cookies featuring brown butter, bourbon, pecans, and chocolate chunks, perfect for sharing and creating cherished memories.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 1 cup toasted pecans
- 2 tablespoons bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Brown Butter: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it turns a deep amber color and develops a nutty aroma. Let cool slightly.
- Mix the Sugars: In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar and brown sugar. Pour in the warm brown butter and mix until smooth.
- Add the Eggs and Bourbon: Stir in the eggs one at a time, then add bourbon and vanilla, mixing well.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Incorporate the Pecans and Chocolate: Fold in the toasted pecans and chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Chilling the dough is essential for the perfect cookie texture. Enjoy warm with milk or as part of a dessert charcuterie board.
