3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup coarsely chopped pecans, divided
1 cup semi-sweet semisweet chocolate chunk, divided
3 -4 ounces favorite chocolate candy bars (Snickers is my favorite! See Note)
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
Combine flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until creamy.
Add egg and vanilla to creamed mixture; beat well.
Gradually add flour mixture to creamed mixture.
Stir in 2/3 cup pecans and 2/3 cup chocolate chucks into cookie dough.
Cut candy bars int small pieces and set aside.
Using a large scoop, drop dough onto stone or cookie sheet, about 3-inches apart.
(Cookies will spread when baking.) Flatten scoops slightly with palm of hand.
Lightly press a few pecan pieces, a few chocolate chucks and a few candy pieces into each cookie.
Bake for 14-16 minutes or until cookies are almost set.
(Centers will be soft, do not over bake.) Cook for 5 minutes on stone or cookies sheet.
Remove cookies to wire rack to cool completely.
~NOTE~Chocolate candy bars with nougat and nuts are favorite choices for this cookie.
Also delicious are chocolate covered peppermint patties, chocolate covered caramels and chocolate peanut butter cups.
