Preparation
Step 1
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars with an electric mixer until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
Add the flour, baking soda and salt and stir by hand until it starts to come together; add the chocolate and pecans and stir just until you have a soft dough. Gather the dough into a ball, shape into a 6-inch log, wrap in parchment, waxed paper or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 3 hours, or up to 3 months.
When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F. With a sharp knife, slice the frozen log into 1/3-inch slices (you may need to let it sit on the countertop for 10 minutes or so, if it’s too hard to slice) and place about an inch apart on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake for about 10 minutes, until pale golden around the edges. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.
