Melt-in-Your-Mouth Maple Cookies

I recently made these cookies, from the Lenox Bakery recipe (viarunamokmaple.com) and found them quite delicious, full of maple and autumn flavors. The original recipe was titled Monster Maple Cookies and were made with sugar eyeballs (I found at Winn Dixie), however, I put a toasted pecan atop one of them and that was Autumn in a cookie!

These cookies are chewy, not crunchy, so if you only like crunchy cookies, stop reading. I like both and I decided if a pecan on top of the cookie was good, chopped pecans in the cookie batter would be even better! These cookies are delicious and can be frozen for future eats.

Born and raised in Miami, the daughter of a pilot and stay-at-home Mom, I love food in all forms. My great grandfather opened the first Italian restaurant in Miami in the 20's, The Boathouse on the Miami river. I love exploring my heritage and linking food and recipes to personal stories. I've been published in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Food and Love and wrote restaurant reviews and news as the Miami Dining Examiner for three years. I love exploring Miami's latest hot spots, hole in the walls and institutions. I'm always looking for innovative ways to use the plethora of tropical fruits and vegetables South Florida offers, especially from my own garden.
