White Chocolate Pecan Cookies 🍪🤍

Soft, chewy, buttery cookies with creamy white chocolate and crunchy pecans

🧾 Ingredients

Dry ingredients:

• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt

Wet ingredients:

• ¾ cup unsalted butter (softened)
• ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
• 2 tsp vanilla extract

Mix-ins:

• 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks
• 1 cup pecans (lightly toasted and chopped)

🧑‍🍳 Step-by-Step Method

1. Toast the pecans (important for flavor)

Place pecans in a dry pan over medium heat for 4–6 minutes, stirring often until they smell nutty and slightly darker.

Let them cool before mixing into the dough.
👉 This step enhances crunch and brings out a deep buttery flavor.

2. Prepare the dry mixture

In a medium bowl, whisk together:

• flour
• baking soda
• baking powder
• salt

Set aside.

👉 This ensures even distribution so your cookies bake uniformly.

3. Cream butter and sugars

In a large mixing bowl, beat together:

• softened butter
• brown sugar
• white sugar

Mix for about 2–3 minutes until light, fluffy, and slightly pale.

👉 This step creates air pockets that give your cookies a soft texture.

4. Add eggs and vanilla

Add:

• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• vanilla extract

Mix until fully combined.

👉 The extra yolk makes cookies richer and chewier.

5. Combine wet and dry ingredients

Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture.

Stir gently until just combined.

⚠️ Do not overmix — this keeps cookies soft instead of dense.
