Finding the pearl in the ocean
It is an ocean when it comes to food recipes on the internet. They are EVERYWHERE. WordPress, Instagram, Youtube, Pinterest …. I could go on. Learning to make something is not that hard anymore. We have so many blogs or websites to choose from. But there comes a time when you make a golden recipe that is so precious you don’t want to let it go. You put it carefully in your recipe box… in my case, a recipe folder. And you revisit this special one over and over again!
The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Combo
One such recipe from my recipe box that is a prized possession is the recipe for Chocolate chip pecan cookies. Since I chanced upon the wonderful pairing of chocolate chips with pecans, I have never gone back to anything else. This is big coming from someone who is not big on pecans otherwise and used to adore a creamy macadamia nut white chocolate chip cookie!
Why not just chocolate chip cookies?
Why not just chocolate chip? What is so great about adding in the pecans? Because once you have had the combination of chocolate chips and pecan in a cookie, there is no going back! It is dreamy, delicious, and festive all in one bite. The cookie is soft and chewy on the inside and chunky on the outside. This recipe, especially, demands you put more chocolate chips than mentioned in the recipe. Because… why ever not?! If you are looking for the ultimate chocolate chip cookie recipe, this might be it!
Notes:
The recipe calls for toasted pecans. Toast them in a hot skillet until fragrant about 3-5 mins on medium heat. Wait until they become fragrant. Do not burn them.
