Lemon Pecan Cookies for Grandma

Thanks for the pecans, Grandma

Over Christmas weekend my grandmother gave me some pecans so I thought I would return the favor by baking her a batch of cookies. I found a recipe for orange pecan cookies using an orange cake mix, unfortunately, I didn't have orange but did have a lemon mix and lemon is my grandmother's favorite flavor so it worked out perfectly. The recipe called for vanilla yogurt but I used lemon instead, glad I did because I feel they had the perfect amount of lemon flavor. I also added a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a tiny bit of coconut extract. My husband thought they were delicious. Hope Grandma agrees.
