TRIPLE CHOCOLATE PECAN COOKIES

Category: Cookies

2 2/3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, slightly firm
3/4 cup dark brown sugar, lightly packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, roughly chopped
4 oz milk chocolate or bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
4 oz white chocolate, roughly chopped
1 1/2 to 2 cups of toasted whole pecans

Preheat oven to 375. Mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Beat butter on medium-high speed until creamy, about 1 & 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add dark brown sugar and beat for 2-3 minutes. Add granulated sugar and beat for another 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Add vanilla and beat for about 30 seconds. Gradually add dry ingredients. Stir in chocolates.

Drop dough by tbspfuls onto ungreased baking sheets about 3 inches apart. Do not crowd cookies because they will spread. Place two or three pecans on top of each mound of cookie dough. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until tops are just set and the edges are lightly browned. Cool cookies for 4-5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
