How to Make Chocolate Chunk Cookies With Pecans Dried Apricots

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Gradually beat in the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks (or 1 cup semi-sweet + 1 cup white chocolate, finely chopped), 1 cup chopped pecans, and 1 cup chopped dried apricots.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown, rotating baking sheets halfway through. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
  9. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
