Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl with a fork. Set aside.

Step 3

Beat together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in bourbon. Stir in flour mixture just until blended. Fold in pecans and chocolate chips until evenly distributed. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
