Crispy Pecan Cookies recipe
Cookie Countdown to Christmas
These cookies are one of mama’s specialties from my childhood. I don’t think mine look as pretty as hers. 😊
According to my husband, these are “the perfect morning coffee cookie.”
I try to use quality ingredients when I bake, especially during the holiday season. The pecans are from nearby Georgia. 😉
Enjoy!
