Pecan Pie Cookies

When you bake your goodies at home, you can control the macronutrient profile by tweaking ingredients and ratios.

My favorite hack is to add high fiber, whole foods like nuts or seeds in order to create delicious treats that still keep your blood sugar balanced.

These pecan pie cookies are perfect for the holiday season, but truthfully, we enjoy them any time of the year. Pecans are a higher fiber nut that contain vitamin A, vitamin E, and minerals like manganese, copper and zinc. By using both chopped pecans as well as pecan butter, you get a creamy cookie with a bit of crunch for texture.

These little cookies will melt in your mouth, but they’re better for your blood sugar and your body!
