Brainstorming has consumed my thoughts and I have some great ideas, though I&#8217;ll try to intersperse the cookie recipes with other genres of baking so I don&#8217;t make you crazy, too. They won&#8217;t win any awards for beauty, and I&#8217;m doubtful they will go viral on Pinterest, but hey&#8230;looks aren&#8217;t everything, right? So here&#8217;s what we have: A deep chocolate cookie covered with a pecan, sugar, orange zest and egg mixture &#8211; basically a chewy meringue. The topping bakes along with the cookie, and turns into a dense, flavorful crust that hardens just enough to make them easy to store without fear of mushing the cookie tops.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.therowdybaker.com%2F%3Fp%3D2676&amp;media=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.therowdybaker.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F04%2Fchoc-orange-pecan-baked-close-300x200.jpg&amp;description=Chocolate%20Orange%20Pecan%20Cookies\" data-pin-do=\"buttonPin\" data-pin-config=\"beside\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/pidgets\/pinit_fg_en_rect_gray_20.png?w=584\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> <!-- Please call pinit.js only once per page --><script src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\" async=\"\" type=\"mce-mce-mce-mce-text\/javascript\"><\/script><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/choc-orange-pecan-baked-close.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2679\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/choc-orange-pecan-baked-close.jpg?resize=300%2C200\" alt=\"choc orange pecan baked close\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/choc-orange-pecan-baked-close.jpg?resize=300%2C200 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/choc-orange-pecan-baked-close.jpg?resize=1024%2C682 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/choc-orange-pecan-baked-close.jpg?resize=450%2C300 450w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/choc-orange-pecan-baked-close.jpg?w=1168 1168w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.therowdybaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/choc-orange-pecan-baked-close.jpg?w=1752 1752w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The story here isn&#8217;t about the cookie; I used my cookie dough recipe for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.therowdybaker.com\/?p=2146\" target=\"_new\">Nonpareil Cookies<\/a>, which worked nicely.
