Dark Chocolate Pecan Croissant Cookies

These Dark Chocolate Pecan Croissant Cookies are unique and different compared to what you typically find on a cookie platter. But they are oh so very rich and delicious. Flaky, with a delicate crust and mildly sweet dark chocolate, with crushed pecans, make these croissant cookies, one of a kind. 

I received product samples from Millican Pecan Company & Adams Extract to aid in the creation of this #ChristmasCookies recipe. All opinions are mine alone.

Dark Chocolate Pecan Croissant Cookies

We’ve made it to day three of Christmas Cookies Week.

Today I’m sharing these incredibly easy, but absolutely delicious Dark Chocolate Pecan Croissant Cookies.

We began making these several Christmas’ ago and they make GREAT gifts!

In fact, I often fill up large canning or mason jars with cookies and then top with a ribbon or bow, and a cute tag.

My friends and neighbors love these gifts!

Just look at how incredibly delicious these look.

Stuffed with dark chocolate and crushed pecans and a truly delicate crust, you will quickly fall in love with these cookies.

They are certainly something different! And certainly something incredibly delicious.

Plus, they are a fun cookie to change up your way.

Here are some ideas for how to make Dark Chocolate Pecan Croissant Cookies even better:

  • remove the nuts and replace with jelly
  • Add marshmallows or fluff with the chocolate
  • change the nuts to a different type
  • add real chopped fruit
  • add peanut butter or another spread

Dark Chocolate Pecan Croissant Cookies

Yield: 20 cookies
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 17 minutes
Dough Refrigeration Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 42 minutes

These Dark Chocolate Pecan Croissant Cookies are unique and different compared to what you typically find on a cookie platter. But they are oh so very rich and delicious. Flaky, with a delicate crust and mildly sweet dark chocolate, with crushed pecans, make these croissant cookies, one of a kind.  

Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Adams Extract Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Millican Pecan Chopped Pecan Pieces, crushed
  • 6 pack of Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Bars
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons sugar crystals

Instructions

  1. Using an electric mixer, in a large bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese and sugar on high speed for 3 minutes.
  2. Add the vanilla extract and salt and mix on low speed until blended, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the flour in, a little a time, on low speed until full incorporated.
  4. Place dough in the center of a piece of plastic wrap. Form the dough into a disk shape about 6" across or so. Wrap the plastic wrap tightly around and refrigerate for at least 1 hour but no more than 24 hours.
  5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  6. On a large floured surface, roll out dough to a 20" by 8" rectangle.
  7. Cut dough into twenty 2" by 4" rectangles.
  8. Place a piece of chocolate or two crosswise across each rectangle of dough. It's okay if chocolate hangs off the edges a bit. Top with a pinch or two of crushed pecans.
  9. Fold the dough around the chocolate and pecans flipping the seam side down. Place on a prepared baking sheet.
  10. Lightly brush your beaten egg over the tops of each cookie.
  11. Sprinkle with regular sugar or coarse sugar.
  12. Bake for 16-18 minutes, until golden brown.
  13. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 5 minutes and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  14. Melt remaining chocolate and drizzle over the tops of cookies.
  15. Store in airtight container for up to 3 days.
