These big fat Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies are chock full of semi-sweet chocolate chips and roasted salted pecans giving you that sweet, salty satisfaction.
Grumpy loves a big chewy cookie and I am always on the lookout for a chocolate chip cookie recipe that will stay chewy for more than a day. While these cookies still did not meet that requirement, they were delicious. If you like them chewy, then that will last for about a day. Otherwise, these cookies got quite crunchy after the first day. I think by day three, Grumpy stopped going to the cookie box. Thankfully by then, there was only one cookie left and I snuck it into his lunchbox the next day. When he came home, it was gone, so I am pretty sure he still ate it even though it was crunchy!
This recipe made a good 2 dozen cookies. I used my large cookie scoop which measures out about 1/4 cup of dough. After scooping the cookies onto the parchment paper lined cookie sheet, I flattened them so they weren’t a domed cookie ball. Maybe if I had baked these a little less time they would have stayed chewy. I’m not certain but I may give that a try because these cookies had great flavor.
