Candied Pecans

  • In a pot, combine all ingredients over medium heat.  Heat until sugar and butter is melted.  pour onto a parchment covered pan.  cool completely.  Chop pecans and set aside until ready to use. 

Cookies

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl or stand mixer, beat butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients, and mix well. Chop chocolate bars. Add chocolate and candied pecans to the cookie dough.  Use a cookie scoop and scoop out cookie dough onto a cookie sheet. Bake for 8-9 minutes or mostly baked. Halfway through the baking process, bang the pan on the oven racks. This will cause the chocolate to run out onto the cookies. Remove cookies before they fully bake. They will keep baking outside of the oven. Cool on a wire rack.
