How to Make Giant Chocolate Chunk Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon almond extract until well combined.
  4. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks and 1 cup chopped pecans.
  8. Drop by rounded ⅓ cupfuls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 3 inches between each cookie.
  9. Gently flatten each cookie to ½-inch thickness using wet hands.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
