I recently posted my recipe for Chocolate Pecan Cookies (Better Than Publix Bakery) at recipezaar.com. Here is the link:

http://www.recipezaar.com/chocolate-pecan-cookies-better-than-publix-bakery-389774

The Publix Bakery Chocolate Pecan Cookies are really good which is probably why they sell for about a dollar apiece. After many a trial and error, my taste buds say this recipe is even better (and much less expensive, and better for you).

As a bonus, the method is much more simple and quick than most cookie recipes I've seen.

This recipe is more thorough and detailed than most, in order to help get it right and for repeatability.

Hope you enjoy as much as I do.

Have you tried this recipe with granulated white sugar? The flavor would change somewhat since Splenda and sugar don't quite taste the same. Any suggestions on how (or even if it needs) to compensate?

I did try this recipe with all granulated white sugar. I found my taste buds could not tell the difference between using 1/2 cup Splenda with 3/4 cup granulated white sugar. I never use all Splenda in any recipe, but this is more for texture than taste. Also, I think the molasses in this recipe may help mask any taste differences. I mention in the recipe notes that I use the Splenda just to cut down on a few calories, and that it may be substituted with dark brown sugar (which is equivalent to granulated white sugar plus molasses).

The main reason I decided to post this recipe was not because it is an exceptionally good-tasting cookie (which it is). It was because of the method. I found its simplicity and speed far better than the many other recipe methods I found and tried. Those with a technical background like myself would call it an 'elegant solution'. I've used a similar method for Banana Bread, but I still have to do some tweaks on that one.

It's the first recipe I've posted so this is new to me. I must admit to a little pride of authorship, and I hope you may give the recipe a second look.
