Toffee Pecan Christmas Cookies
When we saw this recipe on eazypeazymealz.com, we knew we had to share it! It’s perfect for holiday entertaining, gift-giving or just baking for yourself – they’re THAT good!
These shortbread-inspired Toffee Pecan Christmas Cookies are tender and buttery cookies loaded with chunks of chocolate, toffee, and (of course!) pecans, then dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with more toffee, pecans, and salt!
This combination of flavors makes these great to eat even if it’s not Christmas time.
