“Baking can be done with a few simple ingredients, so it's about simplicity and nostalgia - people are reminded of their childhood.” - Paul Hollywood
Merry Christmas Eve everyone! This time of year is always so nice. I love spending time with my loved ones and creating special memories. During this season, I truly love creating treats for my family. This year my husband joined in on the fun, and we decided to create a Chocolate Chip & Candied Pecan Cast Iron Cookie!
This was super easy to make - instead of rolling out each individual cookie from my batter, G and I were able to toss all of the dough into a cast iron.
We were inspired by a restaurant in Ashburn, VA, and ever since my best friend and her husband took G and I to their neighborhood eatery we’ve been really inspired.
Check out the finished product and my preferred dessert wine pairing below.

My favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe has been featured on the blog.
We used a 12 inch cast iron for this giant cookie! The cookie has a great thickness to it, and once it cooled, was super easy to cut into triangles - almost like a pizza pie.

The perfect dessert wine to pair with this decadent dessert was a Port wine from Stone Tower Winery - 2015 Wild Boar Porton. Stone Tower has one of the best port wines I’ve ever tried, and packs a punch with 17% ABV. It pairs so well with the dark chocolate chips used in this recipe.

Merry Christmas everyone! I truly hope you enjoy this delicious dessert, and share it with someone you love.
