The Taste of The Season

Nothing sets the mood of the holidays like the aroma of cookies. Walking into a house that smells like cookies is sure to trigger your favorite holiday memories. Sure, you could buy one of those candles that smell like fresh baked cookies, but to really make the holidays special it's so much better to actually have the cookies on hand.

Autumn is when pecans are readily available and fresh off the trees. Pecans and maple syrup is a classic combination like lemon and raspberry. This recipe for glazed maple pecan cookies blends the two flavors into one tasty cookie that is sure to become one of your family's favorites and part of your holiday tradition.
