These cookies are so delicious I seriously doubt you could eat just one. Consider this a warning and eat at your own risk! Wink Wink!

Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookie Recipe

There is one ingredient that I call the “special” ingredient because it really gives this chocolate chip cookie recipe its unique flavor and texture. It is like no other chocolate chip cookie you have ever had. Trust me!

There are probably two ingredients in this recipe that if you wanted you could leave out but I don’t recommend it. You know where some recipes say “Optional”? Yeah, I’m not even going down that road as there are no optional recommendations here.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats blended to make oat flour (secret ingredient)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 12 ounces milk chocolate chips
• 1 cup pecan nuts chopped
• 1/2 cup pecans pieces for topping cookies

Directions:

Preheat oven 325 degrees Farhenheight.

Make Oat Flour! The Secret Ingredient!

First things first! Place oats in a food processor and pulse until the oats are ground into a fine powder-like consistency. If you don’t have a food processor a Vitamix or blender can be used too.

If you are not up to making your own oat flour you can buy it here.

Cream Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl use an electric hand mixer and combine butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until blended and creamy.

Mix in vanilla extract and eggs to butter sugar mixture and blend until smooth.

Add Dry Ingredients

Combine dry ingredients (oat flour, flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda). Add dry ingredients to butter sugar mixture and combine using hand mixer.

Stir in chocolate chips and chopped nuts using a wooden spoon.

Shape Cookies

Using a cookie scoop, make cookie balls. By using the scoop all cookies should be evenly proportioned every time. This recipe makes 4 dozen cookies.

Bake Cookies

Place 12 balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Slightly push down center. Add several pecan pieces to tops of cookies and bake for 17 minutes.

Remove cookies from oven. Let rest about 5 minutes before removing from pan.

Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and allow to cool. Go ahead! Eat a cookie or two while they’re still warm. Bet you can’t resist! I know I sure can’t.
