This Bourbon Chocolate Walnut Pecan Pie is perfect for this Thanksgiving/Christmas/Holiday season!

Before we get too far… the correct way to pronounce this nut is Puh-cahn. Not PEE-can or Puh-can. It isn’t a porta-potty. No pee cans here.

Anywhoooo. Now that that is cleared up. I grew up in Texas and pecan pie was a staple at every holiday meal, BBQ joint, grocery store, etc. It is by far my favorite pie. No other pie comes even close. With that being said, there is a right way and a wrong way to make a pecan pie. In my house we like the sugar layer by itself and not contaminated with nuts. It is good on its own and shines by itself. The top layer is where your crunchy bits are.

In my recipe, I decided to combine pecans, walnuts, and chocolate chips with a very special ingredient in the sugar layer: BOURBON. Bourbon gives this recipe the extra kick that separates it from a normal pecan pie. I added walnuts because I love walnuts. However, if that is not your cup of tea, double the pecans and omit the walnuts. The chocolate chips are there to give a more silky bittersweet flavor that compliments the nuts.

This really is delicious. For the best results, serve warm with a big scoop of Blue Bell ice cream (or any vanilla ice cream). Enjoy!

These PBC Cookies are the best of both worlds. One side is chocolate with peanut butter and the other is peanut butter with chocolate.

My go to candy, whether it is a road trip snack or cure for a sweet tooth, is Reese’s. They have always been my favorite. When trick-or-treating as a child, I was always most excited for the Reese’s and Butterfingers. You can’t beat the chocolate and peanut butter ratio.

My favorite Reese’s right now, when I can’t find the Nutrageous ones, are Reese’s Dark Chocolate thins. Being dark chocolate and peanut butter, I can pretend they are healthy. HA! But anywhoooo, I had a bunch on hand and wanted to whip up a dessert for my family. Not knowing whether I wanted a chocolate base or a peanut butter base, I decided to do both. And these beautiful Frankenstein cookies were born. I hope you enjoy them as much as us!!

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 C salted butter
  • 3/4 C brown sugar
  • 1/2 C white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 C cake flour
  • 1 3/4 C all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 C Reese’s peanut butter
  • 1/2 C chocolate chips I used dark chocolate
  • 1/4 C Dutch processed cocoa
  • 3/4 C Reese’s peanut butter chips
  • 10 Reese’s thins I used dark chocolate

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 °F.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Cream together butter and sugars. On my mixer I used my paddle attachment and set my speed to low for 30 seconds, medium for 30 seconds, and then high for 30 seconds. It came out creamed and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time.
  • Add vanilla, cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and mix for one minute until fully incorporated.
  • Split dough in half, moving half the dough to a new bowl.
  • In one bowl, add peanut butter. Mix well.
  • Once mixed, fold in chocolate chips.
  • In the OTHER bowl, add cocoa. Mix well.
  • Fold in peanut butter chips.
  • Scoop out cookie dough from each bowl (heaping scoop ~2-3T per bowl).
  • Work the dough together, but don’t mix it.
  • Flatten out, like a pancake, and place Reese’s in the middle
  • Work the dough around it. You need the dough to stick together, but be separate in color.
  • Do not overcrowd the sheet pan. I put ~4-5 cookies per sheet.
  • Cook for 10-12 minutes or until dough becomes golden brown or until desired done-ness.
  • Let rest for 3-5 minutes and ENJOY!
