I agree Kim; Chocolate is a super power, and will take care of whatever ails you! 🙂 I love all the chocolate in these cookies!
Thank you Joanne! Last week required as much chocolate as possible and I couldn’t agree with you more!
I Love chocolate chip pecan cookies, my favorite !! I’ll make these but without the sugar 😊🍫🍘
Thank you!!
i baked these cookies at 375 as stated above, but i found the bottoms were burning quickly. Should i reduce the temp to 350? and if so, how long should i bake them for?
Hi Elle, I have questions? What type of pan were you using and was it dark? They will absorb more heat and therefore more heat will radiate off the surface. Is your baking rack too low to the bottom? Did you use parchment paper? Not sure how big you are making your cookies, but you could reduce the time a few minutes. Maybe chill the dough if it is too warm. You could definitely reduce the temperature, but I would keep a close eye on them after 8 or 9 minutes. Hope something here helps? Let me know if any of these might sound like the issue Elle! I have made these several times and they always come out good.
HI, I used light colour williams sonoma baking sheet, plus parchment and i used the middle rack. The size i used for the cookies were a bit smaller then the 1/4 cup size, which seemed really large for me. i ended up baking the cookies at 350 for around 12 minutes and they came out perfect. Thank you for responding back so quickly..
Yay! I’m so glad that worked out for you Elle. Rock on! Thank you so much for the feedback! 🙂
