Warm up any chilly fall day with some cozy Soft Pecan Praline Cookies and a hot cup of cinnamon tea! These cookies are sweet, spiced, and totally irresistible.
Hello friends, and happy Friday! Fall temperatures have finally made an appearance in Texas, which means it's time to break out the cozy scarves and hot tea! I am so excited to have paired up with Bigelow Tea today to share these delicious Soft Pecan Praline Cookies. Chewy brown sugar dough is studded with caramelized, cinnamon-dusted chunks of pecan for the perfect accompaniment to Cinnamon Stick Tea! Or any tea, if we're being honest. 🙂
As the semester keeps getting busier and busier, finding time to just relax keeps getting more difficult! I can't emphasize enough how important this is though, especially during this crazy rotation where I literally get 3 hours total to myself a day. That is NEVER enough time to do all-the-things! In this 3 hours, hypothetically I should be able to shower, cook, eat, pack food, study, and then somehow also do something fun. How!?. In times like these, it's so crucial to take a quiet moment for yourself with a cup of cozy tea and a yummy cookie! To get taken to the Walmart website directly to shop my current favorite Bigelow Tea, just click on the tea box in the pic above!
To buy Cinnamon Stick Tea and tons of other Bigelow Tea varieties, head to Walmart! Personally, my anytime go-to tea is Earl Grey. I have fond childhood memories of my mom making us a cozy cup with sugar and a splashof milk on cold days when we got home from school. That signature flavor is pure comfort in a cup! Today's Cinnamon Stick pick pairs perfectly with the pecan praline cookies and echoes the warm spices in the dough. Whatever flavor of tea you prefer, be sure to buy Bigelow and you'll be rewarded with fresh, high quality tea every time!
Next time you just need a minute to relax and unwind, bake up these yummy pecan praline cookies and brew a hot mug of tea! This magical combo will make all your cozy dreams come true!
