The best soft and chewy milk chocolate chip pecan cookies are the perfect bakery-style cookie.
These are hands down the best milk chocolate chip pecan cookies! I have worked on perfecting this recipe and it is time to share it with you. I am predicting this bakery x-large cookie recipe will become a staple in your home in no time at all.
My daughter asked me what is my absolute favorite thing to make in the kitchen. Without hesitation I answered, “COOKIES.” I have been baking cookies since the time I was able to reach the countertop so it is my passion. Creating new cookie recipes is one of my all-time favorite hobbies.
Years before I started Modern Honey, I developed a knock-off recipe for the famous New York City bakery called Levain Bakery. It was actually my very. first recipe posted on Modern Honey and has been consistently one of my most popular recipes. It has maintained its 5-star rating over the years! You can find the Levain Bakery Cookie Recipe HERE.
I decided to change up the recipe and use milk chocolate chips and pecans, instead of walnuts. A few more changes such as added vanilla extract and a slightly lower baking temperature. The perfect chocolate chip pecan cookie was born!
I suggest using light colored cookie sheets with this recipe. The dark colored baking sheets attract the heat and the bottoms can become overcooked.
