Pecans are a great snack food. Full of protein and other healthy benefits. Living in Georgia, we always have lots of Pecans in the freezer. We add them to everything we can think of. Cookies, bars, breads, I’ve even got a few chicken recipes I throw them in.

After testing a recipe for these cookies several times. I found myself with extra egg whites.

I could have made meringue cookies or an Angel Food Cake, although I didn’t have that many egg whites. I just wanted something snacky, something to nibble on. Something the kids could have after school.

Don’t let the cup of sugar put you off. After stirring these 3-4 times while baking, you loos at least half the sugar making these pecans a lightly sweet, crispy coated, with a light flavor of cinnamon, treat.
