There's something truly magical about the combination of buttery pecans and rich chocolate chips nestled within a chewy cookie. Butter Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies bring these flavors together beautifully, creating a delightful dessert that is both comforting and indulgent.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup pecans, chopped and toasted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
Spread the chopped pecans on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and light.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Gently fold in the toasted pecans and chocolate chips.
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
