Butter Pecan White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chewy butter pecan white chocolate chip cookies are a mouthwatering treat!  Each bite is a mix of nutty, sweet, and slightly salty flavors, a perfect comfort cookie that’s warm and indulgent.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon butter extract
  • 1/2 cup toasted pecan pieces Adjust amount to taste
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips Adjust the amount to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.

  2. Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and butter extract.  Beat until thoroughly combined.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.

  4. Gradually mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients at a low speed until combined.

  5. Add toasted pecan pieces and white chocolate chips to the cookie dough and fold them into it.

  6. Chill the dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours). Chilling helps the cookies maintain their chewy texture and prevents them from spreading too much. Remove from the fridge when you are ready to bake.

  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F

  8. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  9. Use a cookie scoop to create 1.5 to 2-tablespoon-sized cookie dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.

  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

  11. Let cookies cool for at least 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.  Serve.
