Malted White Chocolate Chip Cookies with Candied Pecans



Since I am on a decidedly weird "baking with nuts" kick, let's keep going with it, huh?  I wanted these cookies to really showcase the pecans, and I think that I did a smash up job.  These cookies have a malted flavor and are studded with white chocolate chips and candied pecans.  Divine.  The dough is insane (should I admit that I ate some and froze some...for later?).  These cookies are an absolute success.


Malted White Chocolate Chip Cookies with Candied Pecans


1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, room temperature
6 Tablespoons granulated sugar
6 Tablespoons packed brown sugar
6 tablespoons Malted milk powder
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (heaping) white chocolate chips
1/2 cup candied pecans, chopped


Preheat the oven to 375F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.


In a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer) cream together the butter, sugars, and malted milk powder.  Add the egg and vanilla and beat well until combined.  Beat in the flour, baking soda, and salt.  Stir in the white chocolate chips and candied pecans.


Scoop the dough with a large cookie scoop and place on the prepared pan .  Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned at the edges.  Remove the pan from the oven and let the cookies cool for several minutes on the pan.  Remove the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.  Makes about 18 cookies.


Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
