Raise your hand if you love soft and chewy cookies 🙋🏾‍♀️ I’ll take a soft and chewy cookie over a crunchy one any day. These double chocolate pecan cookies have the perfect texture that you look for in a fresh, homemade cookie. These Double Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies are the ultimate treat for any chocolate lover. With a crunchy texture from the chopped pecans and a rich flavor from both dark and white chocolate chips, these cookies are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.

These cookies are delicious and easy to make. My favorite part is that the recipe calls for melted butter, so they can be made on a whim. No need to remember to take your butter out ahead of time and wait for it to soften. Just pop it in the microwave, let it cool off a bit, and you’re on your way to fresh baked goodness!

I prefer to use my stand mixer to make these cookies, but a hand mixer would work just as well. Honestly, I just love being able to walk away from the mixer as it runs. It feels like the mixer is truly doing all of the work. To make the cookies, just mix your butter and sugars in the mixer until light and fluffy. Then, add in the vanilla, egg and extra yolk. Mix your dry ingredients in a separate bowl before adding them into the mixer with the rest of the ingredients. Finally, add in your chocolate chips and pecans and bake!

These amazing cookies are sure to impress. I’ve made them often, taken them to work, parties, friend’s houses, and more. They’re always a hit!

Double Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookie Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 cup salted butter, melted
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1 egg 
• 1 additional egg yolk
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

How to Make the Cookies

Start by preheating your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together 2 cups of flour, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda until well combined.

In a separate mixing bowl, use either a stand mixer or a hand mixer to cream together 3/4 cup of melted salted butter, 1 cup of packed brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of white sugar for 3-5 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add in 1 egg, 1 additional egg yolk, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Continue to beat the mixture for another 3-5 minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix the dough. Fold in 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Using a 3 tbsp cookie scoop, drop the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or using a silicone baking mat, leaving a few inches between each scoop to allow for spreading. Bake the cookies for 14-16 minutes until the edges are browned.

Once done, remove the cookies from the oven and place them onto a wire rack to cool. These Double Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and crunchy and will be sure to impress anyone who tries them. Enjoy!
