I ♡ FL



There is something to be said for the feeling of peace when you cross over the Florida state line.  I have lived here my whole life and there is something soothing about flat land and horizons that go on forever.  I love how there is nothing else like a Florida sky or the smell of orange blossoms and jasmine wafting through a hot summer breeze.

Let's just say, an amazing summer full of thunderstorms every afternoon and lazy days made me want to haul myself out of cookie-retirement and get back to the business of baking.  And sharing.  :)

Chocolate Pecan Cookie


Sometimes you just need a good chocolate chip cookie.  And sometimes, maybe, you would bake anything just to use your new mixer.  Two thumbs up, by the way, on my latest purchase.  I love that I can mix a batch of royal icing for ten minutes...and walk away

For this cookie, I used a basic chocolate cookie recipe but added toasted pecans.  A 1/4 cup oatmeal is a nice addition, too.

btw:  I have no talent whatsoever for photography, so please excuse the amateur pictures in every post...
