let’s talk about chocolate pecan chunk brookies! What the heck is a brookie you ask? Because, you know, a cookie alone isn’t good enough!

Don’t hate me, but this recipe is a kind of a mess and is more involved than my usual recipes, BUT let me assure that it IS totally worth it. It requires several bowls, a saucepan, and at least 2 cookie sheets. The dough is sticky and messy and somehow gets absolutely everywhere (WARNING!), but I swear, they’re delicious and you’ll love them anyway!

You know that light, shiny, flaky crust that brownies get on top of them after you bake them? Well these cookies have that! They have the deep chocolate flavor of a brownie, but the convenience of a cookie! And then, the added bonus of gobs of chocolate chips and the crunch of pecans…oh, my, goodness! They’re a must for those times you ‘need’ a good chocolate filled cookie!
