While I was on a vacation to Washington DC, I had an amazing chocolate pecan pie that has stuck with me for the past week. the richness and sweetness of the pie was fantastic. For my Mini Chocolate Pecan Pie Cookies, I added the richness of the shortbread cookie in place of the pie crust and they are packed with a rich chocolate flavor that mixes with the nutty flavor of the pecans makes these an amazing addition to your normal holiday cookies, or anytime of the year. Check out the recipe below.

My favorite fall flavor is apples, it can be used in so many different ways so I had to do one last recipes with apples. These apple spiced thumb print cookies are flaky and full of rich butter and spices plus the simple apple filling the makes these taste great and full of flavor.
