Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies - Decadent & Delicious!! image

My mom always made these cookies for special occasions. They look like any other cookie, but they are beyond delicious. Any kind of chocolate chip can be used - I love milk chocolate, but my DH is more partial to white chocolate.

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup ground pecans
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chocolate chips
1 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • Mix together flour, ground pecans, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine butter and shortening. Blend in both sugars. Beat in the eggs. Add the vanilla.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly. Add the chocolate chips and pecans.
  • If cookie dough is a little sticky, refrigerate for a few hours. Use a spoon to drop onto an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, and 10 minutes only. Remove from oven & let cool on the baking sheet for a further 2 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Do not overcook! 10 minutes is all that is needed!
