Chocolate Chip Pecan Sea Salt Cookies Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHIP PECAN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat brown sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until creamy. Beat in egg. Gradually mix in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and pecans. Spoon into balls and place on cookie sheets about 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool for about 2 minutes before serving.

BROWN BUTTER PECAN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES WITH SEA SALT

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat- until it comes to a boil. Swirl the pan occasionally until brown flecks begin to appear on the surface of the butter, and the liquid begins to turn an amber color. It should give off a nutty, caramel-like aroma after about 5 to 8 minutes. It is better to undercook rather than overcook the butter, since it goes from brown to burnt quickly once it reaches the right color.
• Take the butter off the heat and pour it into a large bowl, then let it cool to room temperature.
• Stir the sugars into the butter. Then stir in the egg and vanilla extract. Once you add the egg, the mixture should thicken. Next, stir in the flour, salt and baking soda. Stir until well-incorporated. Finally, fold in the nuts and chocolate chunks.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days. Chilling the dough makes the flavors more prominent and makes it easier to shape the cookies.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Roll the dough into 1½-tablespoon-sized balls and place about 2-inches apart on the tray.
• Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center is just set.
• TIP: It's better to underbake these cookies by a minute rather than over-baking them. They will be chewier and softer, rather than crisp. Sprinkle the warm cookies with flaky sea salt. Let them cool.

CHOCOLATE CHIP, PECAN & SEA SALT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350. Begin by creaming together room temperature butter and your two sugars. Then, add your vanilla into the mixture, followed by the two eggs. Mix together thoroughly until the yolks are completely incorporated. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and sea salt. Add half of the flour mixture into the butter mixture and stir together. Add the other half and whisk it all together. Once combined, add the pecans and chocolate chips. Grease or spray your cookie sheet or tray. Spoon your dough onto the sheet in heaping tablespoons. Make sure you leave an inch and a half to two inches between each cookie so they don't turn into one big glob in the oven. Bake the cookies for about 15 minutes at 350. Use the 15 minutes as a guideline, because each oven cooks differently. Check on the cookies every five minutes, and if the edges begin to brown, they're all done. Take the cookies out and let them cool for about ten minutes, and they'll be ready to eat (or just eat them hot out of the oven like I do).
