List of Ingredients
8 tablespoons (1 quarter-pound stick) softened butter
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
6 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon cold water
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 (6-ounce) package semisweet chocolate bits
3/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 tablespoon soft butter
Recipe
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, white and brown sugars, salt, vanilla and water, and beat them together with a large spoon until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and baking soda and when they are well combined add the flour, beating it in 1/4 cup at a time. Then, gently but thoroughly fold in the chocolate bits and nuts.
With a pastry brush coat a cookie sheet evenly with the tablespoon of soft butter. Drop the cookie batter onto the sheet a tablespoon at a time, leaving about 1-1/2 inches between the cookies. Gently pat down the tops of each cookie with a spatula, but don't flatten them entirely. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 12 minutes, or until the cookies are firm to the touch and lightly brown. Cool on a cake rack.
Makes 2 dozen cookies
