Bob’s Red Mill 50 States of Cookies is so much fun!  Everyone loves cookies and I was thrilled to come up with a new cookie recipe inspired by my state of Oklahoma!

Our cattle ranch has quite a few pecan trees and I knew I had to make something with pecans.  My husband loves pecan pie and I thought I would do a mash-up with sugar cookies and the results were phenomenal.

Pecan pie is so stinking rich and I don’t usually eat it but these cookies were decadent without being too rich. They would be perfect to bake and share for the holidays. They are sturdy enough to pack into goodie baskets.

If pecans are your favorite my Salted Caramel Cookie Bars are loaded with pecans and you can’t go wrong with classic Pecan Sandies Cookies and these Easy Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies are always a hit.

Bob’s Red Mill is one of my favorite brands to work with. The products are amazing and I just love the story and family atmosphere that surrounds everything they do.

Bob’s Red Mill Organic Unbleached All Purpose White Flour

• • • Organic Unbleached White Flour is freshly milled from Organic hard red wheat. Both the bran and the germ have been removed leaving the endosperm that is made into white flour. It is not enriched with any additives.
    • This is the same high protein flour used by professional bakers and produces high, well-textured loaves of bread equally as well as it produces light, airy baked goods.
    • This kitchen staple is incredibly versatile and perfect for all of your baking needs.

I made a basic sugar cookie dough with the Bob’s Red Mill All- Purpose Organic Flour and scooped it onto a baking sheet. I used a little dipping cup to make an indention in the center of each for the pecan pie filling.

I mixed chopped pecans, brown sugar, cream, vanilla extract and mini chocolate chips for the filling and baked them until they were nice and browned.

I was so pleased with the results. These might just be my new favorite cookie and they are definitely added to my holiday baking list. I really loved the filling, so gooey and delicious and I started with the best sugar cookies ever for this recipe. 

My Grandma’s birthday is this weekend and I’m meeting her for lunch early next week. I’m going to make her a batch and I know she is going to love them. Pecans are her favorite.
