Crunchy and thin these pecan and oat cookies are filled with milk chocolate, making them the best sandwich cookie ever. The caramelized flavor, crunch, and creamy chocolate make these Pecan Lacey's perfect for a homemade gift or your Christmas Cookie plate!
I can't believe Christmas is in two weeks!! This is insane!! 2014 baby! We have finally put the Christmas tree up at my house after numerous hours spent decorating work the last thing we wanted to do was pick up another decoration.
Luckily, since my nan is here from England she started the decorations and I won't lie sitting on the sofa next to the fire and looking up to a glistening tree is perfection for me!!..... And I might be snacking on some English Toffee 😉
I absolutely love the month of December for numerous reasons
1. It's Christmas time so everyone is in a good mood.
2. There is some sort of party every weekend.
3. I get to see friends I haven't seen all year.
4. A fresh new year is upon us.
5. I have an excuse to go shopping all the time.
OH AND MY FAVORITE
6. It's Christmas time so I can eat whatever the heck I want and do it again tomorrow and the day after that...
Yes, I love Christmas time. Sausage Rolls, Turkey, Stuffing, Roast Potatoes, Toffee, Shortbread, Yorkshire Pudding, Sticky Toffee Pudding, and did I mention Sausage Rolls?! UGh, my mouth is watering already!
Another thing I love any time of year but I let myself go overboard around Christmas is Macadamia Lacey's from Trader Joes. Have you ever tried them? Cuz they are ADDICTING! Every single person I have introduced to them LOVES them. And I don't blame them, those cookies are to die for. So I wanted to recreate them but I didn't have macadamia nuts on hand so I used some pecans instead.
If you love pecans as much as me check out my Mexican Wedding Cookies and Pecan Pie Cheesecake.
These Pecan Lacey's are SOOOOOOOO easy to make and SOOO delicious. I absolutely love the nutty/oatty cookie filled with milk chocolate. I salivate as I write this post, I ate the last cookie at work today. Don't worry I treasured every last bite 😉
I hope you give these Pecan Lacey's ago, they are perfect for this time of year. Or any time of year... leeeeeeez be honest!!

The holiday season is a perfect time to eat whatever looks good (and not feel too guilty about it haha)! The Trader Joe's version of these cookies are amazing, but even they can't possibly hold a candle to a homemade rendition! I will definitely have to try these.

Um, HOLD THE PHONE. Macadamia nut laceys? MUST try. But however delish those may be, you totally just smooshed a lacey cookie around chocolate. Be still my heart! This is the way to do business, friends.
