White Chocolate Chunk Pecan Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chopped white chocolate
• 1/3 cup chopped pecans

Directions

Blend sugar and butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the egg and vanilla; blend well.

Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder; combine these ingredients with the creamed mixture. Add chopped white chocolate and nuts.

Spoon dough out onto a cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom. Let cool slightly on the cookie sheet before removing, or they'll break.
