In a large mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together and make a well for the wet ingredients. Pour the orange extract, vanilla and the aquafaba into the well and stir until just combined. Add the pecans and chocolate chips and stir until combined. Make sure your hands are clean and begin kneading the dough until the flour is fully incorporated and it forms a ball. If the dough is too crumbly, the flour may be too dehydrated. Add a tablespoon of water at a time until the dough forms a solid ball. You don’t want it to be wet, just pliable.

Divide the dough evenly into two pieces and form two logs on the cookie sheet that are approximately 12x3 inches. Bake for 25 minutes and remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F

Gently remove the logs from the cookie sheet and place on a clean hard surface and slice diagonally into 1-inch slices. For best results use a sharp serrated knife and gently saw through the log. Don’t press to hard or you may crack the log. Patience is key! Lay the cookies flat on the cookie sheet and bake for approximately 20 more minutes or until lightly golden brown and firm.

Enjoy!
