Oh my you’re going to love Bakery Style Chocolate Chip and Pecan Cookies…but only if you love big, thick soft and chewy cookies!
Bakery Style Chocolate Chip and Pecan Cookies This is an amazing recipe. Once you make and eat these it’ll be very hard for you to go back to an ordinary small, thin chocolate chip cookie. You and I are going to go through a couple of steps in the directions so you understand what to expect before you make them. First….
The recipe calls for melted butter, not soft butter ….melted. This is what makes the cookie very soft and chewy. You’re going to combine the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar and then beat them together until they are well blended. This is going to take 3 to 5 minutes to do and when you’re done the sugars and butter will be so well blended that the batter won’t look grainy.
You’re going to add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla to the sugar, butter batter. Beat the batter until it’s light and very smooth, again this is going to take about 3 – 5 minutes. This step is going to make your cookies big and fat, trust me.

Hey:) I am from Austria (-no kangaroos:)
and really searching for a perfect cooky, it will be part of an invitation card.
My question: do you think I can freez the dough? Or the baked cooky?
Thanks for your help:)
– they look really great!!!
You can freeze the dough or the baked cookie Betty. But if I were you I’d freeze the dough, thaw it out and bake as directed. Let me know how it goes for you!!
Very good looking cookie. I like soft, thick, and chewy cookies. I hate when they go flat and get crunchy. These would be a good bake sale item.
Thank you Charlotte, they were soft and chewy the next day as well!
I like you use more brown sugar than white sugar. I think that’s the secret to a great tasting chocolate chip cookie. Yours look amazing Mary!
Do you keep them in an air tight container? Does that keep crispy ones crisp or what is the difference there?
Would love to know the difference in storing them!
Hi Ellen! You can keep these in an air tight container and put a slice of bread on top of the cookies and that will keep them fresh.
Hi Nancy! Brown sugar has more molasses and it does make them nice and moist!
