Black Onyx and Butter Pecan Cookies

1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup black onyx sugar

1½ cup packed brown sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp. mexican vanilla extract

2¾ cups (12 oz) all-purpose flour 

¾ tsp. smallish-medium coarse sea salt plus extra to sprinkle on top

1 tsp. baking soda

1½ tsp. baking powder

1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup pecans toasted

Pre-heat the oven to 360 degrees F. You will need two mixing bowls for this recipe. In one you will want to add all the dry ingredients (except the sugar) and combine. In the other add the softened butter, sugar, and eggs and whisk until it becomes light yellow. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and add the rest of the ingredients and stir. Place parchment paper on a large cookie sheet and add 2 tablespoons of the cookie dough in a ball on the cookie sheet with about 2-4 inches between each cookie. Bake for 12-14 minutes. The last minute in the oven sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top of the cookie. Remove from the oven and let sit on the baking sheet for another 2-5 min.
