Lincoln Logs Cookie

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully combined.

5. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.

6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough and roll it into log shapes, about 2 inches long. Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.

7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake to keep the cookies soft and chewy.

8. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Serve these delightful Lincoln Logs Cookies with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of tea for a cozy and delicious treat that everyone will enjoy.

10. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage. These cookies also make wonderful gifts wrapped in pretty packaging for friends and family.
