These Maple Pecan Cookies are decadent,chewy, paleo and loaded with protein. I love the maple pecan flavor combo, but I had to give them a little extra sustenance. Things like cookies though, lord help me to eat just one nowadays, if these didn’t have the extra protein I could easily eat 6 in a sitting. With some almond milk…mmmmm….
