Would make this again.
This is my favorite recipe to make at christmas.I've been making this recipe from my cookie book for almost 30 years. I never have time to write Noel on them, powdered sugar. I have to make batch after batch. Everyone loves them. I make them walnuts and pecans,both are great. I have 26 pecan trees so I use them more. I spend Christmas in Cape Girardeau, Mo.and forgot my book so had to look it up on the internet. Thank goodness it came up, because everyone was yelling Make the Chewy Noels!

Would make this again.
It was a good recipe, I would make it again, but mostly to see if it would turn out better than the first time i made it. Although it is an easy and tasty recipe.
