Cinnamon Pecan Cookies

Now that we are in the middle of the holiday seasons with wintery weather, sometimes you just need a warm cookie to snuggle up with.

Cinnamon brings a homey feeling into any cookie recipe and I love the flavor of it! There’s a local bakery here in Virginia that I love to stop by every once in awhile. They sell these cinnamon walnut cookies that I LOVE!!

Because I loved the flavor, I was going to make these cookies with walnuts, but I didn’t have any. This turned out to be a good thing because I had to substitute with pecans. These cookies taste no less delicious with the switch of nuts and something I am glad I tried. The flavor of pecan and cinnamon is amazing!! But really, I bet these cookies would be just as good with any kind of nut that you might have on hand.

The beauty of these cookies starts out with a traditional chocolate chip cookie base. I then added cinnamon and VERY finely chopped pecans. I didn’t want big bites of pecans, more just a slight taste of that nutty flavor. The results were very delicious and no complaints came from my test tasters!
