timesaving tips to streamline recipes
Pre chop the pecans and keep them in a sealed container until ready to use. Note – you can do this and keep nuts in the freezer for recipes too. This is a great tip for using nuts in other recipes.

Use parchment paper to line your baking pans. It cuts down on the cleanup and cookies don’t stick to your pan.

Prepare the dry ingredients ahead of time and store them in a baggie. This recipe is also great for gift giving. Just mix the dry ingredients in a mason jar and include a print out to the recipe
