NATIONAL PECAN COOKIE DAY | SEPTEMBER 21

Each year on September 21st, people across the United States celebrate National Pecan Cookie Day.

#NationalPecanCookieDay

This delicious cookie can be eaten and enjoyed morning, noon and night. If you’re a pecan snacker, another pecan related celebration is National Pecan Day on April 14.

Pecan is an Algonquian word, meaning “a nut requiring a stone to crack.” A member of the hickory family, the pecan is native to central and southern United States.

One of the best ways to enjoy the celebration is by having freshly baked pecan cookies straight from the oven. Add a cold glass of milk to wash it down, and you’ll have found near perfection. Joining a friend while savoring the buttery goodness is even better. The variety of recipes for soft or firm cookies astounds most bakers. The toasted nuts and sugary sweetness melts in your mouth, keeping you coming back for more. They delight, and when stored properly, they stay fresh, too. But pecan cookies won’t last long when they’re baked right.

Gather up the ingredients for your favorite recipe. Whether soft and chewy or the dunking kind, bake up a batch for Pecan Cookie Day.

Pecan pie is my personal favorite. Coupled with a cup of black coffee.

We would get along fine, though I take cream in my coffee. I only found out after marriage that my wife makes a great pecan pie. Hints: don’t skimp on the pecans. Fresh Georgia/Alabama pecans in November are best. Add rum, NOT bourbon, to the recipe. Use butter, not shortening.

Thanks! Everyone should prep by planting some pecan trees on your country property! (Bugout place.) Note that there are now Northern Pecans that can be grown as far north as Iowa and Southern Wisconsin.
