If you asked me what my favorite thing to bake was, I’d probably say, “cookies!” I think it’s pretty safe to say they are my weakness. ;) I’m not a cake person, just ask my family what I insist on for every-single-birthday. {Dutch apple pie with vanilla bean ice cream! Yes, I know that is not a cookie, but you get the picture.} Ok back to cookies.
Besides my Christmas cookies, which we refer to in our family as “papa cookies” {long story for another time.} These dark chocolate chip cookies with pecans are a favorite for me and of course my husband loves them too. The best part is that they come together pretty quickly and bake up nicely. Not too thick, not too thin. Just right! Also, they freeze great! Just let them cool and store them in a freezer ziplock bag and you have some fresh cookies if company stops by!
