Pecan Chocolate Chip Slice and Bake Cookies

These Pecan Chocolate Chip Slice and Bake Cookies were especially tasty thanks to finely chopped pecans and chocolate chips. Oh and then of course we repeated that theme by dipping the cookies in melted chocolate chips and topping them with more crushed pecans. Yep. I’m into it.

INGREDIENTS
For the cookies

• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate 60% Cacao Baking Chips, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped

For the chocolate coating

• 1 1/ cups Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate 60% Cacao Baking Chips
• 1/4 cup pecans, finely chopped

DIRECTIONS

1. In a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter for 30 seconds. Add in both sugars and cream for another minute. Add in egg yolks and vanilla and cream until combined.
2. Add in flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until almost fully combined. Remove from mixer and fold in chopped dark chocolate baking chips and pecans.
3. Get out a large piece of plastic wrap and place cookie dough on top. Roll the dough out into a 15-inch log and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours. Log can last in fridge for up to 2 days.
