Oatmeal Pecan Praline Cookies

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
My kids pack their lunch everyday.  Well….actually, I pack their lunch for them, but you get the idea.  They used to buy lunch once a week, but I came to find out a couple years ago that they hate the food and most if it gets thrown out.  That was $10 down the drain every week.  Completely unacceptable.  It has been two years since they purchased a school lunch.
Oatmeal Pecan Praline Cookies
I put a lot of effort into trying to mix things up and keep lunch interesting.  My oldest son is always the wrench in those efforts as he is my pickiest eater, including no chocolate.   So for him, I’m always on the search for a good cookie recipe that doesn’t have any chocolate in it.  These cookies didn’t call for chocolate but after I tasted their great toffee flavor, I had to drizzle chocolate over half of them.  Had to.
 
So whip up a batch and tell me what you think.  Chocolate or no chocolate?

For those who have never browned butter before, it makes the dough so deliciously nutty in flavor that it is hard not to devour the uncooked product!

    These look yummy – I like how you incorporated the chocolate so the rest of you could still have it and Benjamin could have it without. I still don’t get that he doesn’t like chocolate, but that’s okay -he’s a great kid! 🙂
