Materials

Cookies:

  • 2 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Topping:

  • 5 Tbsp. heavy cream
  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease or line baking sheets with parchment.

Cookies:

  • In large bowl, beat brown sugar and butter on medium until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla until well blended.
  • In separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients to brown sugar mixture until well blended. Add chocolate chips.
