Chocolate chip and pecan nut cookies

By Hannah Lewry

Serves 10 - 12

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 12 - 15 minutes

Ingredients

180 g butter
120 g brown sugar
2 free-range eggs
280 g cake flour, sifted
1 t baking powder
120 g chocolate chips
50 g roasted pecan nuts, chopped

Method

Preheat oven to 180C°.

To make your cookie dough cream together the butter and brown sugar in an electric mixer until pale and creamy, then beat in the eggs, adding one at a time.

Now add the sifted flour and baking powder to form a smooth dough.

Fold through the chocolate chips and chopped toasted pecan nuts.

Roll the mixture into even bite sized balls and press to flatten on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper.

Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden.
