Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch pie plate or cake pan with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, cream the 1/2 cup softened butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the 1 large egg until combined.

  3. 3

    Stir in the 1.5 cups flour until just combined—do not overmix. Fold in the 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.

  4. 4

    Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Bake until the edges are golden and the center is just set, about 20-25 minutes.

  5. 5

    Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
