Chocolate Mums

I came up with this recipe on Mother’s Day! At the time, my mother was really out of town, but I created the recipe with the intention of giving it to her when she returned. One of the cookies has a pecan half and chocolate syrup drizzled on top in the photo as a garnish. They are excellent in this manner. However, they are also delicious simply, especially when they are warm and fresh from the oven! Enjoy!
