Ingredients

• 1 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 2 Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Chocolate chunks
• 0.75 cup Toasted pecans (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 3

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

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chocolate chunks, toasted pecans, and orange zest using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 6

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly soft.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Enjoy your Cuckoo Cookies with a cold glass of milk or a cup of tea!
