Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter, salted
  • 1 stick butter, unsalted
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 11 oz bag of Nestle Milk Chocolate Morsels
  • 1 cup walnuts and pecans, chopped

Instructions

  • Melt butter in pan until it is fragrant and smells toasted. Should take approximately 5 minutes. Don't forget to use a pan that has high sides as you will be making the dough in this pan
  • Butter will foam and then settle back down. Take off heat
  • Add vanilla, sugar, brown sugar, salt and mix well
  • Add flour slowly and mix well
  • Add pecans and mix well
  • Lay out a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap. Roll dough out into a log approximately 12-13 inches long and 2 inches thick
  • Roll log up in wax paper and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight
  • Cut into 2 inch cookies and place on a greased cookie sheet. I used PAM cooking spray in butter flavor
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10-14 minutes. I baked my cookies for 14 minutes
  • Let sit for 10 minutes and transfer to cooling rack
  • Chop walnuts and pecans for sprinkling over chocolate
  • Melt 11 oz back of chocolate morsels at 30 second intervals until melted and creamy
  • Using a spoon, drizzle heavily on one side of cookie
  • Sprinkle over chocolate and cookie
  • Let cool or refrigerate to speed up chocolate hardening
  • Transfer to decorative tray
  • Store cookies for up to 4 days in an air tight container
