Cheese Pecan Cookies image

Cheesy with Sweet and Savory at its best!! This has been my alltime favorite cookie and is always baked every Christmas. I received this recipe years ago from my mother-in-law. It is essential to use all ingredients to get the sweet and savory effect. The combination of the garlic powder, toasted pecan and the powdered sugar is awesome!! A one-half pecan piece on the top makes it pretty, but a one-fourth piece will do as well. It is best not to let these cookies get too brown. These cookies are great with coffee!! Approximate servings is shown. Chill time not included.

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

I'm not a big fan of cheese, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The cheese flavor is subtle, and the pecans add a nice crunch.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the pecans for chocolate chips. The cookies turned out great!

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
