Let's be honest–holiday baking is *all* about the cookies, and that's exactly why you should plan on whipping up a batch of these beauties. The combination of Bob's Red Mill Whole Wheat Flour and toasted pecans in the cookie dough makes for an ultra nutty, hearty cookie, while molasses and a combination of warm spices provide a rich, aromatic flavor. Sandwiched between the cookies is a tasty ginger cream that comes together in minutes. It doesn't get much more festive than these. Don't have linzer cookie cutters? Use a biscuit cutter or whatever you have on hand–they'll still taste delicious!
