About a month ago my niece asked me to help her enter a baking contest in her hometown. How could anyone say no to that? She wanted to make something really chocolaty but also salty. I like this girl's taste. After trying a couple of different recipes we ended up making these brownie-like cookies that are full of roasted, salted pecans. I couldn't believe how good they ended up being.
In the end, she and I were happy getting second place but her mother thought we would have taken first place if the judges would have had some actual baking skills.
