~My good friend Dolce gave me this recipe after burger was gobbling them up at her house. They are very lightly sweet and quite tender. Also there is a lot of room for variation; She made them with banana last week and I was thinking pumpkin or sweet potato might make it into a batch of mine eventually. I sprinkled mine with cinnamon sugar but she doesn't; I also upped the spices( adding the spice to the cookie). They are perfect with tea and a great excuse to eat a cookie! 
I could see adding this to my Christmas cookie repertoire this year for sure. I am thinking a candied pecan would be real nice baked on top!Dolce's pecan spice tea cookies

Yummm, these sound good! I've been fantasizing about spiced baked goods lately.
ReplyDeleteI could probably make these because I've been worshipping at the alter of Paula Deen and can make some junk now, but what the hell is a plug of butter?
