Sometimes you just need a cookie, right?! If you know me, you know that I love baking and making treats. Cookies are one of my favorite things to make because they’re so easy and fun! You can really come up with fun and interesting combos by playing with the ingredients and swapping in different things like nuts, chocolate chips, fruits, etc. These chocolate chip pecan cookies have quickly become a personal favorite and a crowd pleaser, too!

Cookies Made In Just 20 Minutes

Part of the draw of cookies for me is that they are easy to whip up and take only about 20 minutes to make. There’s just something about the near instant gratification of a treat! These chocolate chip pecan cookies are made with one bowl and less than 10 ingredients, so they are truly uncomplicated. If you are already eating Paleo, then you also probably have all of the ingredients on hand already!

Soft + Chewy Texture

The texture of these chocolate chip pecan cookies is pretty great! If you make them a little bigger they are soft and chewy, with hints of savory, salty and sweet goodness! If you make them a little smaller they are soft and chewy in the center, but a little crumbly around the edges, so plan to play with the size a bit so that they come out just how you like them.

Savory, Salty + Sweet

Salty-sweet is my favorite combo, especially when it comes to treats! These chocolate chip pecan cookies are basically the best combo of savory, salty and sweet. The batter itself has a hint of sweetness from the coconut sugar, and then the bites with chocolate chips have a little more sweet in them. The best part though is the savory pecans mixed with the sweetness, and then the sprinkle of sea salt on top. The sea salt with the sweetness just makes me swoon. The texture with the flavors is pretty much perfection!
