This time of year Pinterest is ripe with baking recipes. Just when I think I’ve seen enough, another awesome yum-yum crosses my path. I love chocolate chip cookies. And I LOVE pecan pie. But if you’ve ever made pecan pie or seen the nutritional info on it, you’d be bowled over by the calorie content. Honestly, one slice is like 1,200 calories. So I love the idea of getting a little sample in the middle of my cookie for a tenth of the caloric impact. (Ok that’s a rough guess…maybe 15%, but you get what I’m saying).
If these cookies tickle your fancy like they’ve tickled mine, find the recipe below at Baker’s Royale.
