The 21st of September is Pecan Cookie Day.

Pecan pie typically gets all the attention. Well, today it’s the turn of pecan cookies to shine!

You get to have pecan cookies for breakfast, lunch and dinner today!

What’s your favourite bevvie to go with a pecan cookie? A coffee, a tea, a soft drink, or a nice tall glass of cold milk?

Pecans are a very healthy food, though most dieticians might prefer us to have a handful *outside* of the cookies.
