Chocolate chips are a classic, but these white chocolate chip pecan cookies are an amazing spin on a classic favorite.  Soft, chewy, white choclate-y cookies that just melt in your mouth with a sweet crunch.

White Chocolate Pecan Cookies
If a dog is man's best friend than these pecan white chocolate chip cookies are his girls.

I really don't know what the two have to do with each other. But what I do know is these cookies are my best friend, particularly in the holiday months.

Who am I kidding? They're my favorite on any day.

But there are a few things that are staples in my holiday palette; pumpkin, white chocolate, sweet potatoes, and eggnog.

These cookies, I stumbled on making after making my first attempt at making homemade chocolate chip cookies.

That's how it usually happens for me. I taste something and think “this would be great if I add x, or substitute z.”

White Chocolate Pecan Cookies

I decided to replace milk chocolate chips with the better tasting white chocolate. Yea I said it! And add pecans. Because I love a chocolate chip cookie with the added texture of nuts. And I usually have pecans on deck.

Pecan White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Pecan White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yield: 14

Soft, chewy, white choclate-y cookies that just melt in your mouth with a sweet crunch.

Ingredients

  • 1 stick of salted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar, I use light brown
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 350℉.
  2. Using a hand or stand mixer combine the butter with the white and brown sugars.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing for only 30 seconds or so.
  4. Add in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mixing with a spoon or your hands to form the dough.
  5. Then add the white chocolate chips and pecans and continue to mix with a spoon or hands until incorporated into the dough.
  6. Break the dough into medium balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Allowing them space to spread between each.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes depending on your oven.
  8. Only cook until the cookies have puffed up, don't appear like wet dough anymore, and are slightly golden.
  9. Remove from pan and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Leaving the cookies in the oven beyond the point of them being slightly golden will cause them to overbake.  I also take them off the warm baking sheet and allow them to cool elsewhere for this same reason.  Doing it this way will yield soft chewy cookies that melt in your mouth.

Oh….we may have to discuss this love of white chocolate OVER the milk chocolate, but I will ALWAYS have your back over the pecans. Because pecans are life giving. They just are. Thank you so much for participating in Houseful Of Cookies this year. I can’t wait to try your recipe and report back – yes, even with the white chocolate chips. LOL! <3
