Would make this again.
These are definitely on my list for next year's baking. Delicious - I used the large 8 oz pkg of cream cheese and doubled other ingredients - a little sticky but worth the effort for any cream cheese lover out there! five stars

This cookie was so much fun to make. I didn't have pecans so i substituted it with some chopped walnuts and sliced almonds and it was really good. The title says it all. These cookies are chewy and delicious. Try them, you'll love them too! five stars
