Would make this again.
This recipe was just what I was looking for. These cookies are just like the ones that my grandmother makes for Christmas. I had to bake them for a few minutes longer than what was stated in the recipe. I thought these were perfect!

These are very tasty and look just like lil' pecan pies. I bake cookies everywhere for christmas and wanted something rather than a pecan pie bar, these are a definite keeper. Will make again next year.
