    My family loves these easy cookies. My 9 yr old grandson helped me roll them out and he had a ball.. Everyone says they are addictive. I made them for Christmas and with 5 days to go, will have to make another batch before the 25th...

    FANTASTIC. Easy. Quick. Melt in your mouth. I used margarine instead of butter and could not taste any difference. Also, I noticed if you roll them in the powdered sugar while they are still hot, you may have to do it twice.

    I had a lot of pecans left over and was looking for a recipe in which I can use them. Then I came upon this wonderful recipe! The cookies were absolutely delicious, although I made a couple of minor adjustments. I used brown sugar inside the cookie instead of confectioners sugar, and I kept the pecans coarsely chopped for an added crunch. When I tried them, I also wished I split the dough in two and added bourbon to one of the batches. I will definitely do it when I make them again---which will be very soon!

    I made these last Christmas as gifts and my family devoured them like crazy! I was asked (Actually, the words were "You better..." lol to make them again this year. So, this recipe is definitely a keeper!

    These turned out great and I will definitely be making these again and again, especially around the holidays! I found Fisher's pecan cookie pieces, which really helped with the time it would have taken to finely chop all the pecans.

    These truly are melt-in-your-mouth! Easy and would be delicious with tea or coffee. I did what another reader did, rolled them in powdered sugar when they came out of the oven and then again when they were cooled. I had to hide them from my kids!
