Instructions
1
Cream the butter and sugars
2
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, five to seven minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until well combined. Editor’s Tip: Creaming the butter and sugars thoroughly will help the cookies have a light and airy cookie texture.
3
Combine the dry ingredients
4
Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in another bowl. Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed butter mixture, beating until combined. Editor’s Tip: Sifting the dry ingredients helps prevent lumps and ensures an even distribution in the dough.
5
Mix in the extras
6
Stir in the halved Rolos, crushed pretzels and pecans until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Editor’s Tip: Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can help the cookies maintain their shape and prevent excessive spreading during baking.
7
Shape and bake
8
Drop the dough by 1/4 cupfuls about 2 inches apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until the cookies look crackled, 12 to 14 minutes. Editor’s Tip: Use an ice cream scoop or cookie scoop to portion the dough for uniform cookies. Let cookies cool completely on the pans.
