RECIPE
Oatmea-Chocolate-Chip-Pecan-Cookies
I love a good chocolate chip cookies and there is something about chocolate and nuts together that I love. I have a brown sugar chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and my famous chocolate chip cookie recipe, but I don’t have one with nuts. So this cookie is inspired by both of these cookies. I have said it before and I will say it again, brown butter makes a huge difference in cookies. In fact I was talking about brown butter with a friend/bride about brown butter during her wedding tasting. I think she agrees with me. HAHA.
These cookies are pretty straight forward and super easy to make and no mixer required. Follow the directions and you will have a delicious cookie in your hand.
