Double Chocolate Pecan Toffee Cookie – Last weekend we returned from our family vacation. My daughter was eager to see her best friend MacKenzie, so right away we set up a play date our first day back. MacKenzie's mom, Kelly, was so sweet and brought over a big tin of cookies to welcome us home. I didn't get a chance to eat any of the cookies until after Kelly had left but once I had… well, lets just say I had much more than my allotted share. While one part of me was cursing Kelly for bringing these rich, decadent and sinful cookies into my house, the other part of me was thinking… must learn to make these! Let me see if I can describe them to you – soft, brownie like, nutty, chocolaty gooey goodness all in one tasty little package. I then proceeded to text Kelly and beg her for the recipe, all the while keeping my fingers crossed that it wasn't a special secret family recipe. Score! Kelly was kind enough to share her recipe and I made quick work of putting my first batch together. Wow, is all I can say!
