Mama’s Chewy Nut Cookies
I made these Chewy Nut Cookies for Open Studio yesterday. This was one of my mom’s standby recipes especially for our snack when we came home from school. We grew up on a farm in the middle of a big pecan orchard so we put lots of pecans in everything. I love these and every time I make them I am reminded of her. If you like pecans I hope you will give them a try.
