Amazing cookies, everyone loved them. I can't wait to taste them again.

Cookies are very tasty. Followed recipe, cooked a batch after rolling in pecans. Then I decided to skip this step and incorporate the pecans into the dough, came out exactly the same. Cookies come out soft & thin, let rest on cookies sheet before transferring to rack, will firm up. Recipe is a keeper.

The cookies were delicious. The only change I did to the recipe was add a 1/2 cup of coconut. karenjaschik said her cookies was flat. I think her problem was she used melted butter instead of soft butter. Also, she might have use a measuring cup for liquid to measure her flour and her flour was a few tbs short,making her batter too thin to roll.

These are fantastic. I don't know what karenjaschik did but mine came out great. They rolled into balls with absolutely no problems. Great recipe!

I love these cookies. This is my second year of making them and giving for Christmas and I always get rave reviews! Very easy to make, and the carmel drizzle sets it off the charts!

these cookies are way too thin to coat, any ideas. Very disappointed in the way they turned out.
