Directions
Chocolate Chip Maple-Pecan Cookies, These cookies are outrageously wonderful, they bake out to the perfect texture!!! You can sub walnuts for pecans, melted cooled butter for these, not softened butter! You can shape the cookie batter and then freeze to be baked at a later time , We love these cookies! Been making them for years They are quite perfect and the unusual size makes it look as if they came straight out of a bakery I like to make them with white chocolate chips and cranberries as well I’m not sure about the question whether melted butter is needed but frankly I find it easier because I always seem to forget to take butter out of the fridge in time , I won a cookie contest at a local fall fair with this recipe! They are huge, though DH thought they were like store-bought Best results if baked in a dark metal pan Not sure why it requires starting with melted butter then an extensive mixing time with the sugars, during which time it cools down but the sugar does not dissolve of course Seems it would be faster and less work to use softened butter Any comments on that?
