My sister, Rose, was a phenomenal home chef and baker.

Among her many signature dishes, as well as experimental things she created, everything I ever had of hers tasted fabulous, was appealing to the eye, and there was never enough!

I was perusing through some of my recipes I have saved, and came across this one of hers that is such a winner, and that I hadn’t baked in a long while.

So, here is a superb recipe for pecan cookies…

I can remember how these cookies tasted when she made them. Rose always seemed to just have the knack for baking and cooking alike with a real charm and flair. ~ Ingrid Turner
