There is nothing more welcoming than to walk through the front door and be greeted by the aroma of freshly baked cookies. Whether accompanied by a cup of hot tea or a glass of cold milk, these Pecan Creme de Menthe Cookies will surely warm the heart and soul in this season of winter commute. They are a delightful blend of minty chocolate chips and crunchy pecans, festive enough for the Christmas holidays coming up real soon.

Homemade Gifts

I actually made these cookies a few days before Thanksgiving but they never made it to the holiday table. The family enjoyed them so much, they were gone in a jiffy. I am planning to make more next week to be packed into decorative cookie tins as gifts. In this day of highly commercialized products available for presents, homemade cookies in a tin extends a nice personal touch.

Andes Creme de Menthe Baking Chips are a relatively new addition to my pantry. They are three layered chips similar to their full-sized snacking namesake. These chips provide a refreshingly minty flavor to baked goodies such as cookies, cakes, brownies, and fudge. An alternative would be to use regular chocolate chips and a quarter teaspoon peppermint extract if you are unable to find these baking chips.

      You are welcome, Alice. I purchased this cookie stamp at Costplus World Market but it is only available around Christmas time. I currently have a giveaway of a similar cookie stamp happening right now at Top 10 Recipes of 2013 post. It is open to everyone world wide and today is the last day to enter. Just leave a comment on the post.
