Orange Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

3 cups Flour
4 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1 3/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon Butter
3/4 cup White Sugar
1 1/2 cups Brown Sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
3 Eggs
1 1/2 tablespoons Fresh Orange Zest
2 cups Chocolate Chips (one 12-ounce package)
2 cups chopped Pecans (or walnuts)
1/4 cup Orange Juice

 
   
Preparation:  
   

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together; set aside. Cream butter, sugars, and vanilla together until light and fluffy, scraping sides of bowl as needed. Add eggs one at a time, scraping bowl after each addition. Add dry ingredients and mix on low speed until almost blended. Scrape the bowl; add orange zest, chocolate chips, and nuts. Mix just until blended.

Drop the dough by slightly rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto lightly greased cookie sheets. Flatten with the bottom of a glass dipped into orange juice. Bake about 15 to 16 minutes, until golden in color. Let sit on cookie sheets for a minute or two before removing to a cooling rack.
