Because for me it's the easiest thing to make. to keep, and most of all to eat!!!!
And I have to make it for my family almost every week.
But cookies are not boring, there are many, many, and many recipes for many kinds of this simple sweet (OK. some of the recipes are not simple, haha). You can make soft, hard, crispy, ice boxed and etc.
Anyway, this time is a simple soft cookie. With white chocolate and pecan, this sweet and nutty cookie is the best companion to hot coffee and black tea. This thin cookie will harden after cooling (and keeping) from the baking soda. I think it's good to share (half of) it with your friends as it's the most delicious when freshly baked.
