Ingredients

1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, partially melted
¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
¼ cup (55g) granulated sugar
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla
2½ cups (375g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
6 ounces (170g) dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup (120g) dried cranberries
¾ cup (45g) chopped pecans

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉.
In a large bowl, combine the partially melted butter, brown sugar, and sugar until well combined. Stir in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until combined.
Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until almost combined. Add the chocolate, dried cranberries, and pecans. Stir just until combined.
Scoop into large balls, about 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Place on a baking sheet 2 inches apart and bake for 8-10 minutes. Centers will not look all the way done but the edges will have a light touch of brown on them. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling completely.

Notes

I used a size 24 cookie scoop.
