Chocolate and pecan cookies: this is a quick and simple recipe for ultra-soft cookies with melting chocolate chips.
A must-have recipe, cookies are the perfect cakes to prepare at the last moment. A recipe that can save a birthday party, a rainy Sunday when you have to take care of your children or save breakfast from work.
Besides, cookies are really easy cakes to make, so for once, I didn’t just taste the recipes of my favourite cook: I put my hands in the dough!
Chocolate and Pecan Cookies: The Delicious, Quick and Easy Recipe
I was craving chocolate notes and I had pecans on hand. So I started with a recipe for chocolate cookies – pecan nuts. I had at hand the book of Cédric Grolet, of our favourite pastry chefs and the big red-sta of the Parisian pastry shop. So I took my inspiration. Pretty much I respected the weights, but I reduced the sugar a bit.
I assure you, just because it’s a recipe inspired by a chef doesn’t mean it’s complicated: it was both simple and quick – about 15 minutes of preparation, a short rest time, and only 10 minutes of cooking -, to the height of my skills as an ultra beginner cook! Although, of course, the cook was never far away and gave me the right advice to make the result great.
