Chocolate Dipped Pecan Bites

I was at my friends wedding this weekend and of course it is a challenge for me to eat at weddings.  People must think I'm anorexic the way I skip entire courses or pick off the few bites I can eat without sauce or whatever else I am most likely allergic to.  Although, one look at me and you will realize I do eat! ha ha


Anyway, my friend who got married is Greek and they served these cookies traditionally eaten at holidays and special occasions called Kourambiedes Cookies.  They are basically little crunchy almond shortbread cookies coated in powdered sugar.  They looked so irresistible and unfortunately I had to resist them so I made my own gluten-free version... with a twist.

These have ground pecans instead of almonds (but you could really use either), and they are dipped in melted dark chocolate after they are cooked.  Of course I used gluten-free flours to make these, replaced butter with coconut oil and sweetened them with molasses and honey.  I love them, they are crunchy and buttery and delicious!!!
