Very tasty cookie, quick and easy to make. Dough was a bit crumbly so I kneaded it until it held together. I'll know better next time to mix it longer in the stand mixer.

These are the best shortbread cookies I have ever made. I didn't add almond extract though. I noticed when I mix the dough relly well it helps the dough not be so crumbly when I roll it out.

If I make these again I will leave out the almond extract. It overpowered the rest of the flavors.

I used Blue Bonnets at room temperature. The dough was perfect. These cookies had a perfect amount of sweetness a wonderful cookie. This recipe will save me lots of $$$ since, it is my husband’s favorite cookie.

I tried this recipe using chopped macadamia nuts rather than pecans. (I've been craving the Honolulu Cookie Co. cookie Everything else was the same except I rolled the dough out and used a cookie cutter. I chilled the dough as per the recipe, but I really had to fight with it even after it was chilled, just didn't want to stay together. The end result was definitely worth the fight! Cookies are delicious. I made them for a cookout - to go with Alton's banana ice cream. I think I may be the hero of my neighborhood - THANKS Ina!

I agree with the advice karen.mrnarevic... (sort comments by "most helpful" to find her review gave about not using too much flour. This is the kind of recipe that makes Alton Brown's preference for weighing the ingredients as opposed to measuring them understandable! I followed the recipe exactly,spooning the flour into the measuring cup, rolled it into logs, and chilled. Slicing the logs without crumbles was easier using a serrated knife with very little pressure. For people like me that always overbrown the bottoms of their cookies, use an air-bake cookie sheet and keep an eye on them. Mine came out just rockin' - my second batch is coming out of the oven now! So good with coffee in the morning... YUM!

My husband loves Pecan Sandies. He said these cookies are so much better than the store bought cookies. I even have a daughter that does not eat cookies with nuts in them. But, these cookies she couldn't get enough.
Dough is a little crumbly but with practice it is well worth it. A VERY GOOD COOKIE !

I also had issues with crumbly dough, it wouldn't come together at all! After refrigerating it was a little better, but I ended up throwing out around half of the dough because it was in crumbles. Next time I think I will add another stick of butter to keep it together. The taste and texture of the cookies is delicious!

"what an amazing easy recipe and so yummmyy be warned make sure you either only bake a few at a time or plan on having help around to eat them, cause if their in the kitchen, all alone, in the dark, sad and lonely They WILL call your name.
This recipe is also so easy to adapt, you can do cinnamon, or pecans, or chocolate, or orange etc...."

Love these cookies I have not had a problem with crumbly dough as some have said. Instead of rolling the dough out I divide it in half and roll into logs in plastic wrap then refrigerate, when cold I just slice each cookie off the log. Works great!
