CHOCOLATE CHIP PECAN SANDIES

I use mini chocolate chips for these Chocolate Chip Pecan Sandies and after toasting the pecans to bring out that nice, nutty and smoky flavor I finely chop half of them and chop the rest.

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

¾ cup butter (softened)
½ cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
½ tsp salt
1¼ cup all purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
½ cup mini chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place pecans in a sauté pan and toast for 5-7 minutes. Do not burn these! We want toasted, not browned. Remove ½ cup of the nuts, and chop very finely by hand or in a food processor. Chop the remaining pecans and set aside.
  • In a stand mixer cream the butter and sugar. Add vanilla, kosher salt and mix well. Mix in the flour, and finely ground nuts until combined. Fold in remaining chopped pecans and mini chocolate chips.
  • Use a spatula and scoop dough from mixer bowl and place dough on a sheet of plastic wrap. Form the dough into a log and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill for 2 hours.
  • Slice chilled dough into ½" slices, place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper or Silpat (silicone) baking mat.
  • Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. Makes 24 cookies.

CHOCOLATE PECAN SANDIES



Chocolate Pecan Sandies image

Snowy white on the outside and chocolaty on the inside - these Chocolate Pecan Sandies are a yummy twist on the original. The cookie is crunchy with the classic texture of a Sandies cookie. The cookies themselves are not overly sweet and so rolling them in powdered sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness to this delightful cookie.

CHOCOLATE PECAN SCONES



Chocolate Pecan Scones image

Okay, I have a thing about scones. When they're good, they're light and flaky and full of flavor. Be sure to use really good chocolate that you dice by hand so there are puddles of melted chocolate when you bite into them. And trust me, four teaspoons of Diamond Crystal kosher salt may sound like a lot but it makes all the difference.

Provided by Ina Garten

Yield makes 14 to 16 large scones

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons plus 4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 1/2 cups medium-diced bittersweet chocolate, such as Lindt (8 ounces)
1 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons sugar, plus additional for sprinkling
2 tablespoons baking powder
4 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 pound cold unsalted butter, 1/2-inch diced
1 cup cold heavy cream
4 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1 egg beaten with 2 tablespoons water or cream, for egg wash

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons flour with the chocolate and pecans and set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the 4 cups flour, the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and, with the mixer on low speed, blend until the butter is the size of peas. Measure the cream in a 2-cup glass measuring cup, add the eggs, and beat until combined. With the mixer still on low, pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and combine just until blended. Add the chocolate and pecan mixture and mix just until combined. The dough will be very sticky.
  • Dump the dough out onto a very well-floured surface and knead it a few times to be sure the chocolate and pecans are well distributed, adding a little flour so the dough doesn't stick to the board. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough 3/4 to 1 inch thick. You should see lumps of butter in the dough. Cut the dough with a 3-inch plain round cutter and place the scones on the prepared sheet pans. Reroll the scraps and cut out more scones. Brush the tops with the egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 20 minutes, switching the pans halfway through, until the tops are lightly browned and the insides are fully baked. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CHOCOLATE PECAN SANDWICH COOKIES



Chocolate Pecan Sandwich Cookies image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield Makes 18 to 20 cookies (9 to 10 sandwiches)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup (70 grams) pecan halves (about 1/4 of a 10-ounce bag)
3/4 cup (98 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (20 grams) good quality unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
6 tablespoons (75 grams) granulated sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup (45 grams) rainbow sprinkles
Caramel filling, recipe follows
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup (75 grams) store bought caramel sauce
1 1/2 cups (180 grams) powdered sugar
A good pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Spread pecan halves on a parchment lined baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until roasty and fragrant. Remove from the oven and cool. Transfer the pecans to a cutting board and give them a rough chop. Allow chopped pecans to cool completely.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter, half of the sugar (1/4 cup), and vanilla until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and add the flour, cocoa powder and salt mixture. Mix on low until all of the dry ingredients are incorporated. Add the pecans and the sprinkles and mix until just combined.
  • Line a work surface with a large piece of parchment paper. Scrape the dough out onto the parchment paper and gather it together with your hands. Roll into a 6 1/2-inch-long log that is about 2 inches wide. Tightly wrap the dough in parchment paper, twisting the ends so it's airtight. Refrigerate until the dough is firm, for 2 hours or overnight.
  • Set an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Spread the remaining granulated sugar on a plate and roll the log in the sugar to coat completely.
  • Slice the log into eighteen 1/4-inch discs and place them on the baking sheet evenly spaced apart. Bake in the center of the oven until the cookies are no longer shiny and slightly puffed; begin checking for doneness at 16 minutes. Let cool on the pans.
  • Using a 1/2-ounce scoop or a spoon, dollop about 1 tablespoon of the filling on the bottom of 12 of the cooled cookies. Sandwich with another half and smush lightly. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container on the counter until you eat them all.
  • Cream together butter and caramel until smooth. Add powdered sugar and salt and whip until combined and light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your cookies will taste. Look for high-quality chocolate, pecans, and butter.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much. This will also help them to hold their shape better.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them to keep their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.
