November Flavor of the Month: Pecan Pie

November 03, 2025

Fall is officially here, and we’re diving right into cozy season with our November Flavor of the Month: Pecan Pie! This cookie has all the charm of a homemade pie — but in warm, chewy cookie form.

Picture this: a buttery brown sugar cookie baked to golden perfection, packed with crunchy pecans and a gooey, pie-inspired filling. Every bite hits that perfect balance of nutty, sweet, and melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Some might even whisper it’s better than grandma’s recipe (but we’ll keep that between us).

Whether you’re showing up to Friendsgiving with dessert in hand or just need something sweet to unwind after family time, this cookie is pure comfort. It’s fall flavor at its finest — and you don’t even need a fork.

And here’s the best part: you can bake them yourself! We’re sharing the full recipe so you can bring that same Tiff’s Treats magic to your own kitchen. Keep an eye out for our step-by-step baking video and fill your home with the aroma of freshly baked fall cookies.

Happy fall and happy baking!
