Sep 26 Chocolate Pecan Cookies for Two

Gwen Smith

Dessert

It is hard to beat chewy, melted chocolate chip cookies sprinkled with salty pecans fresh from the oven. But when there’s only two of you baking up an entire batch of cookies is just too much. You can make this recipe if you need a big batch but it also splits perfectly into 3 small batched of cookies. Make one, freeze two and enjoy just the right amount of cookies.
