These delicious cookies are super simple to make. If you don’t need 30 cookies all at once you can freeze them and cook them in small batches as needed. Roll them and chill or freeze all on one tray to save space in your fridge or freezer.

After chilling, place 7cm apart on trays lined with baking paper.

Cool on the tray for about 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Bag them up for gifts, or just eat them!!

    These delicious cookies are super simple to make. If you don’t need 30 cookies all at once you can freeze them and cook them in small batches as needed.

    Ingredients

    • 120g room temperature butter

    • 100g brown sugar

    • 100g caster sugar

    • 1 large egg (room temperature)

    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

    • 185g plain flour

    • 1 tbsp cornflour*

    • 1/2 tsp baking soda

    • 1/2 tsp salt

    • 260g chocolate chips

    • 100g lightly toasted, coarsely chopped pecans

    Directions

    • Cream the butter and sugar together well. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

    • In a separate bowl, sift the flour with the cornflour, baking soda and salt. Add this to the butter mixture and stir until blended, then stir in the chocolate chips and pecans.

    • Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, scoop spoonfuls of dough (about 2 tablespoons), shape them into a ball and place on a tray. Chill the balls for at least an hour, or, the cookies can be frozen then placed in bags for later.

    • Preheat your oven to 180ºC / 160ºC fan forced. Arrange the chilled cookies onto trays lined with baking paper, leaving about 7cm in between.

    • Bake for 15-18 minutes, until browned around the edges. Cool the cookies on the baking tray for about 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. If baking dough that has been frozen, arrange the cookies on the baking tray and allow to thaw at room temperature for 20 minutes before baking as above.

    Notes

    • *not required if using biscuit, cake & pastry flour. The purpose of cornflour is to reduce the protein content of regular flour to make it lighter.
