Chewy chocolate chip pecan cookies that taste just like buttery pecan pie!  These Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie Cookies will be the hit at your next cookie swap party!

Can you guys get over how close Christmas Day is?  It’s only 5 more sleeps until the big day!  Dubai finally dipped into the 70’s so it’s feeling more like December.  Dubai won’t ever have a white Christmas but I will take what I can get.  The weather has actually been feeling really nice here.  We even had a beautiful day at the beach recently.  In December!

For those of you who are also experiencing a very warm Christmas this year, here is a super yummy cookie to get you in the mood.  These Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie cookies are absolutely perfect for a cookie swap or holiday party.  They’re rich, chewy, and full of that buttery maple flavor that comes with pecan pie.  I used a butter pecan cake mix for the cookies which gave it that special hint of maple.  The best part is that thick coating of dark chocolate and sprinkle of sea salt.  Never forget the sea salt.
