These chocolate pecan cookie crisps are part of a sponsored Christmas Cookies event.
I love how festive these chocolate pecan cookies are and since they’re slice and bake, they’re as simple as simple could be.
Ingredients for pecan chocolate cookies
- brown sugar
- butter
- egg
- vanilla (Adams Extract recommended)
- all-purpose flour (Millican Pecan Co. recommended)
- unsweetened cocoa powder
- baking soda
- sprinkles (Sweets & Treats: Tinsel Town and Sleigh Ride)
How to make chocolate pecan cookie crisps
Beat together the butter and sugar, then add in the flour, pecans, baking soda and cocoa powder to form a dough.
Divide the dough into four sections and roll each of them into a log with about a 1 1/2-inch diameter.
Cover your work area with sprinkles and then roll each of the logs in the sprinkles until completely coated.
Cover each of the rolls with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until firm, at least one hour.
Once the dough is chilled well, cut each of the logs into slices.
Place onto ungreased baking sheets about an inch apart. I love these Anolon nonstick cookie sheets and highly recommend them!
Bake for about 10 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
These festive bite-sized cookies are crispy and oh, so chocolatey. I love them rolled in sprinkles for the holidays – so colorful.
