Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Lightly butter or spray 2 large baking sheets.

In large bowl using electric mixer, beat butter with sugar. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, then vanilla extract. In separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir into egg mixture alternately with milk, making 3 additions of dry ingredients and 2 of milk. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans.

Drop heaping tablespoons (15 mL) of batter onto prepared sheets at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Bake for about 10 min or until set around edges yet soft in centre.

Variation:

Black Forest Brownie Cookies: Omit pecans. Add 1 cup (250 mL) dried cherries to batter.

Tips

To make ahead: Drop dough onto baking sheets, freeze until firm; transfer to airtight container; freeze for up to 3 months. Place frozen dough on baking sheets; let stand at room temperature for 10 min; bake as directed. Increase baking time to 12 min if necessary.
