Nadine's Cookies




Heavenly cookies first given to me by my lovely friend Nadine. She also kindly passed on the recipe. I love it when people are generous with their secrets! I made a few yesterday for Pene's birthday - she loves a good sweet too! The cookies are nice and chunky - the rolled oats gives them substance while the chocolate and pecans make them decadent. Perfect with a coffee!
