I’m bringing you the last cookie of the holiday season, and while it’s a sad occasion that it’s come to an end, what a delicious journey it has been this year! I’ve taken you everywhere from a savory option, all the way to these decadent Pecan Sticky Bun Cookies! I figured I might as well go as big as I could for the final showdown. If you’re a big fan of pecan sticky buns (such as I am), but don’t want to deal with the hassle of making a yeasted dough and then having to wait overnight for the rolls to rise and then baking them and inverting them and praying they come out of the pan, then the easier solution is to just turn that classic recipe into a bite-sized cookie. They’re the perfect addition to your holiday spread this year, and would make a great option to include in those cookie tins at your cookie swap! Happy Holidays my friends, may you enjoy the next several days with family and friends, surrounded by delicious food!
