Ingredients
Instructions

- Mix well.
- Place egg-sized mounds of dough on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider substituting half of the oleo with unsweetened applesauce to reduce fat while maintaining moisture. You can also swap half of the brown sugar for a natural sweetener like coconut sugar for a healthier alternative. If you prefer a nut-free option, simply omit the pecans or replace them with an equal amount of sunflower seeds.
Serving Suggestions
These Buffalo Chips are delightful on their own, but you can elevate the experience by serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. They also pair beautifully with coffee or tea for an afternoon treat. For a fun twist, try serving with a side of caramel sauce for dipping, reminiscent of flavors found in Caramel Apple Pecan Squares.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag once solid. To reheat, microwave for 10-15 seconds or warm in an oven at 300°F for about 5 minutes until just heated through.
