Position Oven Rack in center of Curtis Stone Convection Oven. Using BAKE mode, set oven to 375°F for 13 minutes and
preheat. Line 13x9-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
In small bowl, whisk flour and baking soda together.
In large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and 1/8 tsp salt on
medium-high speed 3 minutes, or until creamy. Beat in egg. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually beat in flour mixture
just until blended. Add chocolate and pecans and mix just until pecans break up a bit.
Using about 1 1/2 oz dough for each cookie, drop 6 dough mounds onto prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Bake cookies 13 minutes, or until edges and tops are golden brown but centers are still soft and moist. Cool cookies on
baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to Multipurpose Rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough, being sure baking
sheet is completely cool before adding dough. Serve cookies warm.
INGREDIENTS
Make-Ahead: Cookies are best served warm. Shaped cookies can be frozen until firm, then stored in a freezer bag
for up to 1 month. Bake frozen cookies without thawing, but allow a few additional minutes of baking time.
