Maple Pecan Cookies

Maple Pecan Cookies

As we get closer to autumn, I crave deep-flavoured treats like spices, caramel, maple, or pumpkin. These Maple Pecan Cookies are one recipe that screams Fall all over it. They are soft inside yet crispy outside, with many flavours from the maple syrup, spices, and pecans.
