Ingredients

• 113 grams Unsalted butter
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 100 grams Brown sugar, packed
• 3 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 60 grams All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 150 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
• 120 grams Chopped pecans
• 1 Prepared pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Once the butter has cooled, whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, sift together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans.

Step 7

Line a 9-inch pie dish with the prepared pie crust. Pour the filling into the crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature, with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
