INGREDIENTS
1 3/4 cups chopped pecans
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips (I used half dark chocolate and half semi-sweet chocolate)
DIRECTIONS
Place chopped pecans and 1 tablespoon butter in a baking dish. Bake at 325 degrees for about 5-7 minutes, or until toasted and beginning to brown, stirring frequently, so as to brown evenly. Remove from oven and cool. Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, beat 1 cup butter with brown sugar until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in baking powder, salt and flour. Mix well. Add chocolate chips and buttered pecans.
Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until desired doneness!
