Homemade cookies had been absent from our cookie jar for a while, and it was time to correct the situation. A search through the ingredients on hand, led to the creation of these Double Chocolate Pecan Chip Cookies.
Working full-time doesn’t leave much time for baking during the week, but once the weekend arrives the urge to bake kicks in. One thing I love to do when making cookies is change up the ingredients. A basic chocolate chip cookie is hard to beat, but try a couple different chip flavors, add some nuts, and you might have a new favorite cookie recipe.
When it comes to chocolate, I usually prefer dark, but this time I used a combination of white and semi-sweet chips. I also threw in some pecan chips to add a little crunch. Condo living doesn’t allow for a lot of food storage, but I try to keep a variety of chocolate chips and nuts in the freezer so I can bake on short notice.
The method for mixing up these drop cookies is fairly straight-forward. Once you mix up the wet ingredients and add in the dry, you’ll be ready to stir in the tasty white, semi-sweet, and pecan chips. Using a 2-tablespoon scoop to drop the dough on the prepared pans, keeps the cookies all the same size. It also speeds up the process of getting them into the oven.
I baked at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until the centers were set. Since the dough was dark in color, I couldn’t determine if the cookies were done based on their color.
These cookies are sweet, chewy, and full of chocolate goodness. I shared them with family and co-workers and the cookies received high marks.
If you have a chocolate craving, give these Double Chocolate Pecan Chip Cookies a try. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did. Happy baking!
