Chocolate Chip Pecan Shortbread Cookies are rich, sweet, buttery, crumbly, melt in your mouth shortbread cookies with chocolate chips and chopped pecans.

Chocolate Chip Pecan Shortbread Cookies are rich, sweet, buttery, crumbly, melt in your mouth shortbread cookies with chocolate chips and chopped pecans.

This past weekend we went to the mall and they already had Christmas decorations up in early October. So that got me thinking about Christmas, and baking, and cookies.

Are you a baker? A Christmas cookie baker? Then this post is for you. These rich, buttery, crumbly Chocolate Chip Pecan Shortbread Cookies scream Christmas to me. My older sister used to bake tables and tables full of cookies, candy, and fudge every year for the holidays. Here shortbread cookies with pecans were one of my favorites, and I always associated them with Christmas.

For a variation, I added chocolate chips because everything is better with chocolate, right?

Please understand that these are not your typical chocolate chip cookies. It is a shortbread recipe that has chocolate chips added. If you would like a more traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe then try my Best Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe.  The shortbread cookies have a distinct crumbly buttery texture, and are not soft and chewy like more traditional chocolate chip cookies.

However, if you love the crumbly rich texture of shortbread cookies, then you will love these Chocolate Chip Pecan Shortbread cookies.
