Light and crispy, these cookies melt in y our mouth, while the plump pecan perched on top provides a little crunch. They're delicate when t hey come out of the oven, so keep them on the foil until completely cool, then carefully remove.—Bonnie Thompson, Cave City, Kentucky

These cookies are tasty. I definitely recommend reading this recipe through before making. The first batch I made got stuck to the pan when I forgot to use the foil. I only scoop about 1/2 a teaspoon size of batter onto the foil since they spread so much. I also make sure to completely cover the foil well with spray of butter since these cookies like to stick when baked. I make them only 2x a year, but never is there a crumb left.
