There are plenty…and I mean plenty of recipes for chocolate chip cookies on the net…and it’s obvious why, soft chocolate chip cookies are amazing! But I like to add a bit extra when I make mine, adding additional ingredients to the base recipe. The inspiration I got for this recipe is a from German Chocolate Cake. German Chocolate happens to be hubby’s favorite kind of cake and although he ask for me to make it quite often, I ain’t got time for all that. Instead, I figured why not add some coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips to the cookie batter and BAM…just like a German Chocolate Cake in a fraction of the time. Well not exactly but hey, the cookie is still delicious.

It took a lot of practice to get these chocolate chip pecan cookies thin, crispy, and chewy like I like and the results were consistent. Make sure to check out the Notes Section below on some tips to ensure your cookies are the same.

Notes on Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookie Recipe

  • Make sure you use softened butter for the recipe. I just leave it out on the counter top for a few hours.
  • Your egg should be room temperature before it’s added to the dough as well.
  • The bake time for these cookies are 8-10 minutes but keep a close eye on them, they can burn quickly if in the oven for too long.
  • Use a cookie scoop to make sure your cookies are uniform.
