GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE PECAN COOKIES
This recipe was in our local paper yesterday, courtesy of Mr. Mitchell Moore of Campbell's Bakery. I made a batch this morning, and they are sooooo deeply chocolate-y and rich! Crisp outside, chewy inside...perfect. Hint: chill dough, and slightly underbake for maximum chewiness.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, cocoa, and salt. Stir in chocolate and pecans. Add egg whites and stir just until incorporated (do not overmix).
- Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls, 3 inches apart, onto 2 parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets. Bake until cookie tops are dry and crackled, about 25 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer sheets to wire racks and let cookies cool completely. (To store, keep in an airtight container, up to 3 days.)

Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. You can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or a combination of both.
- If you don't have parchment paper, you can grease the baking sheets with butter or cooking spray. However, parchment paper will help to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges and set in the center. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Conclusion:
These gluten-free chocolate pecan cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up any leftover chocolate chips or pecans that you may have on hand. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these cookies a try!
