These soft and chewy cookies are a great twist to the classic chocolate chip cookies. YES, your favourite cookies just got an upgrade. Along with chocolate chips, these cookies are also loaded with crunchy pecans. 

I love having a chocolate-loaded cookie every day; who doesn’t? But have you ever wished to have something crunchy along with gooey chocolate? I always did, and adding pecans was my take on that. 

Indeed, you can always swap pecans with walnuts as they have similar taste and texture, but I prefer pecans and recommend you to try this recipe once. The contrast of nuttiness from pecans and gooey chocolate is unmatchable. I’m sure you will love this twist.

Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies Recipe Tutorial

Why You’ll Love This Recipe? 

  • The Texture: I personally love soft and chewy cookies, which is exactly what these cookies are. They are big, chunky, gooey and crunchy. All these contrasting yet complementing textures are there in just one cookie. 
  • Pecans: Pecans are rarely used in Indian households. But you won’t go for any other nut once you taste them. They have a distinct buttery and sweet flavour which differentiates them from other nuts. It has a superior taste profile to walnuts. 
  • Hassle-free recipe: You don’t need fancy equipment or too many ingredients to make these cookies. All you need is your standard ingredients for a classic chocolate chip cookie with an additional ingredient of pecans. 

Important Ingredients Used In The Recipe

  • Dark chocolate: I prefer using Belgian dark chocolate chips in my cookies. you can even chop the chocolate from a dark chocolate bar to get chunks if chips are unavailable. 
  • Pecans: the star ingredient of the recipe is Pecan. Use good quality and fresh pecans. Do taste them before purchasing; some pecans tend to have a more bitter taste. So buy the ones which are less bitter and sweeter. 
  • Castor and Brown Sugar: The perfect balance between the two sugar types makes all the difference in a cookie. Taking slightly more brown sugar gives a soft, chewy texture, yet you get crispy edges.

How To Make Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies

The complete ingredient list, their quantities and recipe method are mentioned below in the recipe card. 

Preparation: start by collecting all ingredients needed for the recipe in different bowls. Preheat your oven to 180C (OTG mode: upper rod + lower rod + fan). Line a baking tray with butter paper or a silicon mat. 

Creaming: Take a bowl, add butter, castor and brown sugar. Cream the butter and sugar until the mixture becomes fluffy and pale. 

Wet Ingredients: Add eggs and vanilla essence to the creamed butter and mix properly. Ensure that the egg is mixed in thoroughly. 

Dry Ingredients: It’s time to add the dry ingredients, which are flour, baking powder and salt. Sieve these ingredients directly over the mixture and combine. 

Add Pecans and Chocolate: The last step is to add the Chopped pecans and chocolate chips. Make sure to combine the entire dough well. 

Shaping: Now that the dough is ready, it’s time we shape our cookies. Take 80g of dough and make a ball out of it. Place the ball on a lined baking tray and press it a little. Do the same with the remaining dough. 

Garnish: Add some more chopped pecans and dark chocolate chips on top as garnish. 

Freezing: Freeze the cookie dough for just about 15-20 minutes in the freezer. This will help us get a better shape and texture of the cookie after baking. 

Bake: Place the chilled cookies for baking at 180C (OTG mode: upper rod + lower rod + fan) for 15-18 minutes. The edges of the cookies will turn slightly golden brown. 

Chef’s Tips For The Recipe

Variations

The recipe is simple, and you can easily replace pecans with any other nut that you like to pair with chocolate. Walnuts and almonds are suitable replacements. 

Baking tip

Since the cookie is meant to be soft and chewy, ensure you do not overbake them. Overbaking the cookie will make them more crispy than needed, and you won’t have the soft centre. 

How To Store Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies

Like always, store the cookies in an airtight container once they have completely cooled down. They will last for a week at room temperature. 

There can be times when you have leftover dough, which you can store in the freezer cling-wrapped for two months.

“I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date”
Before this program I knew a little about manifestations, but as I discovered during the program, I had a lot of limiting beliefs that kept me from fully embracing and accepting myself as a manifestor.
During this program I became more aware of what manifestation is and how powerful I am. I become more aware of my guides, of my highest self and that I can pull the best of my highest self into my present. Since this program I no longer wrestle with trying to convince myself that what I desire will happen. I know that it has happened, it is done and it is mine, here and now. I achieved 10% of my short-term manifestation before my target date, my eyesight has improved and I no longer need glasses for distance vision, only for reading, I gave myself a make-over as part of my commitment to my renewal and I began to de-clutter my space.

“My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes”
Joining “The Art of Manifesting” was a life-changing decision for me. This is now the third time going through the quest and focusing on different areas of manifestation.
Regan is a powerful guide and she walks the talk.
This 28-day journey was a blend of practical techniques and profound energetical activations. I learned to visualize my goals clearly, expand my possibilities, and overcome the limitations holding me back from living a life i desire. The quest’s unique approach to identity hacking helped me align my inner self with my aspirations, making the manifestation process more effective and authentic.
The biggest takeaway for me was the acceleration of manifestation by bending time and tapping into the highest frequencies. The techniques taught in the quest enabled me to see results much faster than I expected. My professional and personal life has seen significant positive changes, and goals that once seemed unattainable are now within reach.
I’m beyond grateful for the wisdom and tools I’ve gained from this quest and Regan. It’s not just about manifesting; it’s about transforming your entire lifestyle. I highly recommend “The Art of Manifesting” to anyone looking to turn their dreams into reality.

“This course and listening to Regan’s podcasts gave me the tools to acknowledge my blocks and mindsets around drinking”
I have so enjoyed this journey with Regan, I am a new person as a result of this quest. I now have new beliefs & mindsets that I keep working on daily, hourly. A kinder and more compassionate version of me has emerged over this journey, and I love her!
This quest has resulted in me finding the lost me, the me that has been hidden under the voices of doubt, fear or just lack of awareness that I get to run my life not the other voices in my head or family and people around me. When we wire ourselves to the future version of us, then we make different choices and we are already a different person!
Thank you Regan, thank you Mindvalley, thank you tribe!!!! ❤❤, I love you all and wish you a magical Christmas and hope our paths may cross one day at Mindvalley events.

“My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest”
Before taking this Quest I believed that the prerequisites of success were hard work, long hours, timing and a degree of luck; “1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” was my mantra. Trying to achieve success with this mindset was exhausting, frustrating and unsustainable.

 

I then discovered The Art of Manifesting … and was blown away.

 

The foundational teaching of focusing on your inner world to achieve has been transformative in the way I live my life. I now know that cultivating the feeling of already being in possession of that which you want, accelerates the manifestation of what you desire.

 

My family’s net income unexpectedly increased while I was taking the quest, and have discovered a path to manifest greater abundance in the year to come. But perhaps the biggest shift I experienced during this quest now knowing that I am worthy and deserving of abundance. Regan, I am eternally grateful to you, thank you :-)

“Now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered”
Before this program, I believed somewhat in manifestation but never knew how to do it, or if it was real, and the little bit I did know ended up being completely wrong! This Quest has not only taught me how to manifest and put me on the path to doing it the right way, but I was actually able to manifest what I had set at the beginning.
I never thought it would actually come true, but I committed myself to the process and gave it 100% every day. And now, my manifestation is showing up right before my eyes in ways I hadn’t even considered. It’s truly blowing my mind.
I had a financial goal for the end of the Quest, and different opportunities for selling my artwork started coming up, and the deals are coming out almost to the exact number I had set.
Not only that, but I have truly transformed into a better version of myself in these short weeks, more than I had in the last few years, that my spouse has even noticed.
I’m so excited for what’s to come next and so grateful for this program. Thank you.

“I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design”
I joined Mindvalley on New Year’s 2023. I am excited to share how life has significantly changed in the first 90 days of the year. Beginning with the Silva Method, I envisioned and transformed a dysfunctional personal relationship, into a loving, caring separation, allowing me the peace and serenity to follow my path, and my partner to choose his. In February while on the Art of Manifesting Quest I listed my intent to have a book written by May 2023, and have a speaking engagement booked by December 2023.
I have written a 50,000-word book, that is now in design, and a journal for Women seeking a deeper connection with themselves, also in design. Both will be uploaded via KDP Amazon self-publishing by May 1st.
I have booked a speaking engagement for May with the intent of having published books with me for sale.
Most importantly – this morning I changed my profile from ‘Document writer’ to ‘Author.’
Gratitude abounds!!!
