Ingredients
For the Buttered Pecans:
- 1 and 1/2 cups pecan halves, finely chopped
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
For the Brown Butter Bourbon Pecan Chocolate Chunk Cookies:
- 2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, melted until browned
- 2 and 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (don't pack the flour into the measuring cup!)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons bourbon
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 12 ounces semi-sweet OR dark chocolate, roughly chopped into chunks
- 24 pecan halves, for decoration, optional
Instructions
For the Buttered Pecans:
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in chopped pecans and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Set aside until needed.
For the Brown Butter:
- Place the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and cook for about 3 minutes – stirring almost constantly – until the butter has browned. Pour the brown butter into a heatproof bowl, being sure to scrape all of the "toasted" bits into the bowl as well. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or until the butter is at room temperature. You’ll know the butter is at room temperature when you press a finger into the top and it makes a slight indentation. It should not be liquid at all.
- Once the butter is at room temperature, you're ready to get baking!
For the Brown Butter Bourbon Pecan Chocolate Chunk Cookies:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside until needed.
- In a large bowl combine flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda; whisk well to combine then set aside until needed.
