In northern Israel, pecan harvests move from orchard rows into family kitchens, where ground nuts and a few simple ingredients form a soft, tender cookie.
These pecan cookies have a delicate texture, with a soft center and a lightly crisp exterior. A whole pecan pressed into the top adds a light crunch and a deeper roasted flavor.
Ground pecans form the base of the dough, giving the cookies their structure without the need for flour. This naturally makes them gluten-free while keeping the pecan flavor clear and present. Sugar and vanilla add a smooth sweetness, and a light coating of powdered sugar finishes each cookie with a soft outer layer.
They pair well with coffee or tea and work just as well for guests or everyday use. The texture holds, and the flavor stays clear from start to finish.
From the orchards of northern Israel, these cookies move straight from the harvest into your kitchen.

Gluten Free Pecan Cookies
Pecan HaTzafon, led by Benny Israeli, is located in Beit Hillel, a small farming community in the Upper Galilee. The region is known for its fertile land, where generations of farmers have cultivated orchards and fields. Benny grew up surrounded by agriculture, learning from his family how to care for the land and produce high-quality crops.
The farm specializes in growing and processing pecans, focusing on sustainable and environmentally responsible methods. The trees are nurtured using minimal intervention, allowing the soil and climate of the Galilee to shape the flavors naturally. Harvesting is done with care, ensuring that only the best pecans are selected for roasting and flavoring.
Benny’s work is a continuation of a long tradition of farming in the Galilee, where agriculture has been a way of life since ancient times. His pecans reflect the balance of tradition and innovation, providing a product that is both rooted in the past and made for the present.
