Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

0.5 teaspoon salt

0.75 cup unsalted butter

1 cup packed brown sugar

0.5 cup white sugar

1 tablespoon orange zest

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs

1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1.5 cups chopped pecans

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease cookie sheets.

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream butter, sugars, orange zest, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.

One at a time, beat in eggs. Add dry ingredients and stir until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans, mixing until well-blended.

Using a tablespoon, drop dough slightly rounded onto cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each mound with the back of the spoon.

Bake cookies in the preheated oven until golden brown, approximately 15 minutes. Let cool briefly on the cookie sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
