Two Fabulous cookies using one recipe. Candied Pecan Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies and Toasted Coconut. Can you say Yummers!!!
Today, while testing a Candied Pecan Recipe, I came up with an idea, to add them to some left over Milk Chocolate Cookie dough, and they turned out pretty darn fantastic. I also had some Leftover toasted Coconut from Thanksgiving and decided to make a batch of Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies as well. Two cookies using one dough. Love It!
Candied Pecan Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies
The Cookie Dough Recipe Ingredients:
- 11 1/2 ounce(s) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, or Milk Chocolate ( I used two cups)
- 1 cup(s) ( 2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened (make sure to put dough back in fridge before baking. warm butter makes cookies go flat).
- 3/4 cup(s) sugar
- 3/4 cup(s) brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon(s) vanilla
- 2 1/4 cup(s) unsifted flour
- 1 teaspoon(s) baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1 cup(s) walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)
Directions Heat oven to 375ºF. ( I found the oven temp to be too hot for the Large Cookie. Heat oven to 350F. instead)
Stir flour with baking soda and salt; set aside. In large mixing bowl, beat butter with sugar and brown sugar at medium speed until creamy and lightened in color. Add eggs and vanilla, one at a time. Mix on low-speed until incorporated. Gradually blend dry mixture into creamed mixture.
Stir in nuts and chocolate chips. (Candied Pecans, in this case). Candied Pecan recipe can be found under “The In Between” Category.
Toasted Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
Toasted Coconut: Place about 1/2 cup of sweetened shredded coconut on baking sheet and Bake at 350F. 7-10 minutes or longer. Check on frequently and stir every 4 minutes, until Coconut is golden brown.
Stir in toasted Coconut
Drop by tablespoon onto ungreased cookie sheets. I used a regular size Ice cream Scoop to make large cookies.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. For large Cookies Bake for 15 -20 minutes at 350F. Mine turned out perfect around 16-18 minutes.
They tasted really good. You can use any Chocolate chip cookie recipe you like and add some fun Ingredients…even potatoe chips or pretzels. I say that, because I saw it with my own eyes, on Good Morning America today. No Kidding.
Add some Toasted Coconut on top of the Toasted Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookie, when it first comes out of oven.
Enjoy!!!
