A little Bit of Amos Pecan Cookies


So, i am still on my Chinese New Year cookie baking marathon although it will be here in 5 days! Actually i only have 3 more days, minus 1 from travelling time back to hub's hometown and another to help mil prepare the reunion dinner on the eve. But in hindsight i have done quite a fair bit, 5 type of cookies already with enough for some sharing.  What is left is to repeat the cycle so that i can have more to share with loved ones and friends :)

This one was made with the purpose of using the pecans that i have in stock.  Might as well make good use of them and turned them into something Amos like which is well loved by many.  A simple crispy and crunchy cookie with pecans and Andes mint chocolate chips in it, need i say more??

yeah, i think many were into the cookie baking marathon, initially i wanted to bake this and that but didnt manage too. I think no one would get tired of these kind of choc chip nut cookies :)

Hi, this cookies look inviting. Love the andes mint choc in it, very delightful.

Best regards.

I've done several batch of cookies and pineapple tarts before CNY but haven't taken any photos of anything *sigh* I can't remember that last time I've eaten Famous Amos cookies but I've seen one FA shop here . Your cookies look really good and yeah , nearly the same as FA cookies :D
