ZOOOOOM the season is going by so quickly!
Every year I look for unusual gifts and this year is no different. With the economy so tough I found an alternative to my normal gift giving with something hand made for my special friends and family.
The fragrance of baking pecan cookies used to signal the arrival of the holidays, as I was spirited out of bed in the morning. Momma Peggy always got an early start in the day and it was always a joy to run into the kitchen as she rolled them into shape. It was my job to coat them in the powdered sugar and gently place them in tins as gifts for neighbors. Oh how I loved the broken ones! Yummy!!!!
So this year I dug into Peggy’s recipe box and found the recipe. I then went out and found some wonderful tins at a party store and have been baking cookies for hours. Just the aroma wafting through the house has taken me back to my childhood. My friends and family are going to love their little tins of cookies. Of course just like when I was little, there seem to be a fair amount of broken ones to be consumed on the spot.
I thought you might want to share this wonderful tradition with me so here’s the recipe my mom has used for years.
