Preparation

Step 1

Line baking sheets with parchment paper

Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder.

Cream 2 sticks butter, sugar, and 1 cup brown sugar with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 - 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until incorporated. Add flour mixture and beat just to combine; stir in chocolate chips and pecans.

Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 T. butter and cinnamon. Drop cinnamon mixture by spoonfuls over dough; gently swirl through.

Scoop dough with a #40 scoop (about 1 1/2 T) onto prepared baking sheets, spaced 2-inches apart; chill just until firm.

Preheat oven to 350. Bake cookies until edges begin to brown, 12 - 14 minutes. Let cookies cool on baking sheets 5 minutes before transferring to racks to cool completely.
