  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Melt Chocolate and Butter:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla extract.
    • Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is just melted and smooth (about 1 minute total). Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Beat Eggs and Sugar:
    • In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    • Reduce the mixer speed to low. Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg and sugar mixture, blending until smooth.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Add Mix-ins:
    • Fold in the chocolate chunks and pecans gently with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  7. Portion the Dough:
    • Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2–3 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  8. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers remain soft and chewy. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies tender.
  9. Cool:
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve and Enjoy:
  • Savor your warm, gooey chocolate chunk cookies with a glass of cold milk or as is!
