These cookies embody the indulgent taste of pecan pie, but in a whole-wheat, lower-sugar format. They’d be right at home on a Thanksgiving buffet, as they’re perfect for folks who want just a small amount of something sweet and delicious. We use golden monk fruit sweetener to flavour these cookies; you’ll easily find it in most large supermarkets. The zero-calorie sweetener mimics the flavour of brown sugar, giving these cookies a caramel-like richness.
