Chewy Chocolate Pecan Cookies are soft, chewy chocolate cookies studded with miniature chocolate chips, pecans and white chocolate.
Today I am sharing these deliciously soft, Chewy Chocolate Pecan Cookies, my cookie that I sent out to 3 other bloggers while participating in the 5th Annual Food Blogger Cookie Swap. This was my second year participating, it was so much fun last year I didn’t want to miss out on a chance to help do a little good. Plus I got 3 dozen yummy cookies sent to me in return and unlike Christmas and birthdays the waiting is actually fun!
I really hope that my cookie receives Patty, Kelly and Nina enjoyed the cookies as much as my family, friends and I did! A big thank you to OXO, Land O’Lakes and Dixie Crystals this year’s brand partners, each of whom will match any donations to COOKIES FOR KIDS’ CANCER, dollar for dollar (up to $3000)! If you’re a food blogger that has never participated, I definitely recommend signing up for the fun in 2016.
Christmas is coming in 9 days, so hop on into the kitchen and whip up a few batches of cookies to brighten someone’s day. Now about that recipe… I hope you enjoy, happy baking!
