Chewy Chocolate Pecan Cookies
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups pecans (or nut of choice) finely chopped
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Using a stand mixer with paddle attachment whisk the sugar, cocoa, flour and salt to combine.
- Add in egg whites, one at a time. Then add in vanilla extract. Mix on medium high for 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a food processor or grinder pulse the pecans until finely chopped, until you reach a grainy consistency with maybe few bigger pieces in between. I used my coffee grinder and pulsed 3-4 times only.
- Add pecans and chocolate chips to the mixer bowl and whisk on medium low for only about 20-seconds.
- Drop 1 tbsp measure of cookie dough onto a lined sheet pan, leaving about an inch of space apart.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes at 325F degrees in middle rack until edges start to dry. The middle will be soft.
- Remove cookies from oven and let it cool completely before removing from sheet pan.
