Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks
• 0.5 cup pine nuts, toasted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Using a spatula, fold in the chocolate chunks and toasted pine nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
