If you love soft, moist, chewy and slightly crispy cookies you came to the right place.
These Butter Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies are everything all in one!
I know, seems impossible right?
Well let me just tell you the flax meal just makes baked goods super moist while the earth balance buttery sticks gives these cookies such a buttery taste.
Pecans and Chocolate Chips made this new cookie recipe my new favorite!
The melting of the “butter” in this recipe will also retain moisture, makes them chewy while creating a slightly crispy outside.
Yes, these cookies are basically everything all at once!
Vegan Butter Pecan Cookies
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Serves: 12
Ingredients
- Vegan Butter 8 Tablespoons (113g)
- Granulated Sugar ⅓ cup (66g)
- Light Brown Sugar ⅓ cup (70g)
- Ground Flax Seeds 1 Tablespoon (8g)
- Hot Water 3 Tablespoons (45ml)
- Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon
- All Purpose Flour 1½ cups (188g)
- Baking Soda ½ teaspoon (2.5g)
- Salt ½ teaspoon (3g)
- Vegan Chocolate Chips ½ cup (85g)
- Pecans ½ cup (70g)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Combine the ground flax seeds and hot water and let stand for about 5 minutes to thicken
- Melt the earth balance buttery stick in a sauce pot or in the microwave until it is just melted.
- Cool the butter slightly to lukewarm (you just don't want it hot) add to a mixing bowl with both sugars and beat on medium to low speed until it is all incorporated, less than 1 minute should do.
- Add the flax "egg" and mix to combine
- Sift the flour with the baking soda and salt and then add to the butter mixture and mix just to incorporate.
- Add the chocolate chips and pecans and mix to combine
- Scoop cookies with a 1½ ounce or 2 ounce scoop onto a parchment lined sheet pan
- I like to add a few chips and nuts to the tops before baking so they look really nice when they come out (trick of the trade!)
- Bake in preheated 350°F oven for approximately 10-15 minutes or until they are starting to get golden browned, be careful not to over bake these if you like soft chewy insides!
Notes
Cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks (they will not last that long I promise!)
These are perfection. Instead of chocolate chips, I used roasted unsalted pepitas. And they came out absolutely frame-worthy at 10 mins exactly. Good gravy, they are amaaaazing! And really insanely easy, this might have taken me 20 mins tops from pulling out ingredients to popping them in the oven… I love when people list the weight for the ingredients too, so helpful for ensuring the perfect turnout! I think the best thing about this recipe was learning that you can melt butter instead of having to wait for it to soften! Instant cookie gratification!
YAY! thank you for the feedback!
