Double Chocolate Pecan Cookies for #ChristmasWeek

These Double Chocolate Pecan Cookies are beyond divine. Rich, chocolatey and with a touch of richness from the pecans, these cookies are perfect for the holidays!  They couldn’t be easier to whip up.  There are some cookies that mandate a 2 hour chillfest in the fridge – these aren’t it.  I played with a Martha Stewart recipe until I had the perfect consistency – a bit crisp on the bottom and chewy in the middle.  The longest was waiting for them to cool because those chocolate chunks pack a melting punch.  The other secret – instant espresso in the melted chocolate.  It just enhances the chocolate flavor. These can be an amazing little gift and with the right box a memorable one too. Check out here for some nice boxes and ideas before you go through the recipe.

Before I start waxing on and on about the chocolatey goodness, let me hush and give you what you really want – the details on how to make a batch (or three) of your very own.
