Maple Pecan Skillet Cookie

Overview

Some people don’t like pecan pie.

I don’t know how I feel about that statement, tbh, you know…as a pecan pie lover, myself.

But there *ARE* certain people in my family (ahem husband. daughter. son) who just don’t like the gooey texture of pecan pie.

Me: šŸ„ŗšŸ˜³

See, I grew up in a home where my mother made pecan pie. I ate it. I loved it. I still do.

But in an effort to celebrate all things pecan all Autumn long, (see, Maple Pecan Pie Smoothie and these killer easy brussel sprouts with squash and pecans , both of which have been on repeat at my abode),Ā  I decided to make a skillet cookie (because who doesn’t love a skillet cookie) that has flavors of pecan pie WITHOUT THE GOOEY.Ā 

You’re welcome, family.
