Toast the Pecans
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C)
Add parchment paper to a small cookie sheet and place the pecans on top
Melt the butter, add the sugar and cinnamon, combine it well and evenly pour over the pecans
Watch the Pecans carefully as they toast in the oven to prevent them burning. Toast for about 5 minutes.
Make the Dough
Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper
Melt the butter over medium heat, while stirring for about 5 to 6 minutes and until golden brown. Remove from heat and whisk in the sugars. Let the butter and sugar cool to lukewarm then whisk in the molasses and egg
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, psyllium husk, baking soda, and salt together.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then fold in the chocolate and pecans until just combined
Using a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop, place the dough on the prepared cookie sheet making sure they are 2 or 3 inches apart. The cookies will spread.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking.
Place the cookies on the centre rack of the oven and bake at 350°F (177°C) for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned on the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
