How to Make Pioneer Picnic Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ½ cup shortening until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar. Cream until well combined.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended).
- Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Baking times may vary depending on your oven.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
