I thought I should try a dessert for once - and actually this is the first dessert for Vegetarianized! If you cook, you probably don't bake and vice versa. Well, I cook with a side of 'I can make cookies, bars and ice cream because I have an ice cream maker.' These little lovelies are my latest obsession because they mix up quicker than your oven can preheat and they taste just like warm pancakes with butter, maple syrup and nuts - I promise! It'll make you want to get out that flannel shirt, some lumberjack boots and sing like Paul Bunyan. Here I use a mix of pecans and almonds, but I bet you could use whatever is your favorite nut. In Michael's case that ISN'T brazil nuts.
