Servings: persons

9 ounces sugar (about 1 1/4 cups; 255g)
8 ounces unsalted butter (2 sticks; 225g)
2 ounces malted milk powder, such as Carnation or
(about 1/2 cup; 55g)
1 ounce barley malt syrup (about 4 teaspoons; 30g)
1/2 ounce vanilla extract (about 1 tablespoon; 15g)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons (6g) Diamond Crystal kosher salt; for table salt, use half as much by volume or use the same weight
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
10 ounces all-purpose flour (about 2 cups; 280g)
10 ounces toasted pecan pieces (about 2 1/2 cups; 280g)
10 ounces roughly chopped chocolate, dark, milk, or white (about 1 3/4 cup; 280g)

1
Adjust oven rack to middle position, preheat to 350u00b0F (170u00b0C), and line two aluminum half sheet pans with parchment. Combine sugar, butter, malted milk powder, barley malt syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low to moisten, increase to medium, and beat until soft and light, about 5 minutes. Add egg and continue beating until smooth, about 2 minutes more, pausing to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a flexible spatula as needed. Resume mixing on low, add the flour, and, when fully incorporated, add pecan pieces and chopped chocolate.

With a pair of spoons, divide into about forty 1 1/4-ounce portions and arrange on half sheet pans, leaving about 2 inches in between each, as the cookies will spread significantly in the oven. Bake until puffed and pale gold around the edges, but still soft and pale in the middle, about 15 minutes. Cool directly on the sheet pan until firm, about 10 minutes. Enjoy warm, or allow to cool completely then store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature.

If you like, portioned dough can be divided between several heavy duty zip-top bags and refrigerated up to 1 week, or frozen 6 months. Stand at room temperature until quite soft, about 70u00b0F, and bake as directed.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
