Would make this again.
These cookies are yummy and everyone loves them :-) The key to making them good is to make sure and wrap in a thin layer of dough as the dough swells a lot when baked. They look nice with the pecans on top. I will be making these again for sure! i would have given them 4.5 stars but there was no option for that. four stars

Would not make this again.
I don't know what happened but the cookies did not turn out at all. They melted together I didn't know what I had made.
I could hardly get it off the pan. one star
