Pecan Chocolate Chunky Cookies

Erika Marucci
Pecan Chocolate Chunky Cookies are rich, decadent and as the name suggests, chunky! The cocoa powder provides the chocolate flavor and the white chocolate chips produce an extra layer of sweetness we didn't know we needed. Add the roasted chopped pecans and you have the perfect crunchiness to softness ratio!
