Fred's Chocolate-Pecan Cookies image

This recipe, an adaptation of a popular cookie served at Fred's restaurant in Barneys New York, the Madison Avenue department store, is rich, chewy and dotted with crunchy pecans. If you're into the salty-sweet thing (who's not?), add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt a few minutes before the cookies are done baking.

Time 35m

Yield About 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces semisweet chocolate
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 eggs
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons/30 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Melt the semisweet and unsweetened chocolates and butter in a double boiler and cool slightly.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the eggs until frothy. Add the sugar and continue whisking until the mixture thickens and pales. Add the vanilla and whisk. Whisk in the chocolate mixture to combine.
  • In another bowl, combine the salt, baking powder and flour. Fold the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture, stirring to combine well. Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans.
  • Drop the cookies from a 1 tablespoon measure onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes until lightly set. Remove the cookies and cool on a rack.
