  Due to severe lack of dessert in the house, my daughter decided to bake these chocolate pecan brownie cookies. In short, they are amazing. Chocolatey, salty, crunchy,and buttery (as Mr. Rockies puts it), these cookies will thwart even the most determined dieter. It would be hard to resist this kind of chocolatey goodness. However, […]
