Begin by making your pecan butter. Roast pecans at 180 C for 10 minutes. Process in food processor for a few minutes until they turn into a butter, transfer to a jar and set aside. I make a big batch and store the rest in the fridge.
Add all your ingredients into one big bowl. I like to add the dry ingredients first and then add the coconut oil and maple syrup and pecan butter last.
Mix well until a cookie dough is formed
Create cookie shapes by rolling heaped TBSP amounts into a ball and then pressing them down with your fingers until they form a cookie shape. Press 1 pecan into the top of each cookie
Bake on a lightly greased or lined baking tray for 10 - 12 minutes at 170 C.
Makes about 12 cookies in total
