Very good! They remind me of pecan puffs (Mexican wedding cake.) Dense in a good way. This is a keeper!
I really loved the flavors in this recipe, however mine did not cook all the way through. Perhaps it was just the difference in my oven temperature. I'll definitely try them again. Hopefully with better results!
Light and lemony. Takes some extra time to roll into ropes. Make sure to brush each side of the log with water if you want the nuts to be on both sides when rolled. I used a food chopper/processor to get the nuts finely chopped. I also subbed pecan cookie pieces that were already ground and those turned out really well, too.
