I made this for the cookie trays this year. This was very easy to put together. The cookie was dense and rich. I love chocolate, cinnamon and pecans but I guess I'm not crazy about them all together in one bite (just a personal thing I guess). Thank you for posting this recipe. I'm glad that I tried it.. -
These were very easy and quite delicious, just a tad too sweet for me. -
This is very easy to do. The crust is almost like a shortbread. I used a 1/2 cup of milk chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of cinnamon chips in place of the semisweet chips so I didn't top it with powdered sugar as it was pretty sweet.
