Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 5 tablespoons Kentucky bourbon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups chopped pecans

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda and salt with a fork. Set aside.

Step 2

Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the bourbon. Stir in the flour mixture just until blended. Fold in pecans and chocolate chips. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet for a minute, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
