Pecan Cookie Recipe

Hello friends,

Last year was a very busy year, filled with excitement and sadness.  Once December came around I knew that I wanted to set new goals for 2023.  One of my goals is to become more involved in baking.  So, I purchased two baking cookbooks that I have started reading and using.   While I was skimming through the cookbook I found a recipe chocolate chip, pecan cookie recipe.  I had already baked brownies so I didn’t want to add chocolate so I made Pecan Cookies.  I found pecans in my local market the other day, I bought two bags did the rest of my shopping, and headed home.  The following morning I took out the butter, scale, and the rest of the ingredients.  I roasted the pecans in the air fryer for 10 minutes, a quicker option.

One of the goals I am working on is starting my own podcast.  As you already know I did take part in a podcast with a chef friend called “Behind the Greek Apron”.  Unfortunately, we had to stop the podcast because my friend started working on other projects and could not continue.  I so enjoyed being a podcaster even though I am still very new but I decided that I wanted to start my own podcast.  I have already chosen the name and now it’s about finding the time to start recording.

My second project/goal is to start baking, I think it’s time I up my game with baking.  It is something that I stayed away from mainly because it was always the issue of the exact amount of flour, and sugar, you know what I mean.  Cooking is a whole different game, you’re able to experiment, develop, and play around with a variety of spices, oils, and other delicious ingredients.  Speaking of ingredients I added a bit more vanilla extract just because…:).

I’m really proud of myself, the cookies were sooo good!!  I am glad that I decided to up my game. 🙂

Wishing everyone a great weekend!!  See ya next time

    Pecans are the best, not only with cookies but cakes and pies also. Now I’m thinking maybe pecan coffee can be added.☕️☕️🤔
