I say this ad nauseum throughout my blog, but I am not a fan of baking. I hate having to measure out every ingredient and all the cleaning that is usually involved with the many tools you need to use to just bake a plain old cookie. However, I do always have a fresh baked good on my kitchen counter for my hubby or our guests to nosh on when they’re here….so when I come up with an easy recipe, that requires very little measuring or very little baking skill, I am ecstatic.

This cookie recipe is made in 1 bowl, takes less than 25 minutes to make, and is made with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. Triple win.

I like these cookies because they’re not too sweet, and the pecans give a great Fall taste to the mix (I can smell the cooler weather already). You can try this out with any nut you may like: Almonds, Brazil Nuts, Walnuts, Hazelnuts, etc. I also plan to try this recipe next time with Almond Extract instead of Vanilla Extract to see how that plays into the taste of these cookies! Another idea is to try this out with Candied Pecans! YUM!

This recipe is great to make with kids, great to bring over to someone’s house, or to just have in your home!
