Whenever Mother made these cookies, there never seemed to be enough! Even now when I make them, they disappear quickly. These melt-in-your mouth treats are great with a cold glass of milk or a steaming mug of hot chocolate. —Debbie Carlson, San Diego, California

These are so delicious and so easy to make. Just like a shortbread, only better with the pecans. The nice thing is all of the ingredients are staples in my kitchen. Will definitely make again.
