These chewy, toasted pecan treats are a must with my cookie munchers every holiday. Using caramel and chocolate drizzle makes them doubly delicious and so pretty on the plate.—Paula Marchesi, Lenhartsville, Pennsylvania

These were soooo good! I will definetly make them again! They were very sweet, so if you don't have a major sweet-tooth, then they are not for you!

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!
