After the first sheet came out flat and the caramel melted all about the cookies, I decided to chill the next few sheets after I rolled them into balls. Unfortunately, they still fell flat and the caramel melted out. When I make them next, I will be certain to add the caramel post-baking. Other than the mentioned troubles, they were very good.

Delicious little cookies! So many different flavours that meld beautifully! I did have a bit of a mess on my hands, though... I only refrigerated the dough for about 45 minutes as the recipe didn't indicate how long. I don't think that was long enough as my cookies flattened right out & the caramel drained out of some of the cookies making them stick to the cookie sheet. And, I don't think I worked quick enough with the caramel as it was getting quite thick & difficult to work with as I neared the end of the cookies.

I took all the ingredients over to my daughter's house and she and my grandaughter and I made cookies and played boggle. I did run out of nuts to coat so we just winged it. The cookies didn't look all that great but oh were they good! Thanks Rita, we all loved them!

These are amazing! I used chopped pecans instead of walnuts, and found that I used about a cup and a half instead of a cup. These little babies are incredible tasting. I got about 20, so obviously made them a bit on the big side (which is not a bad thing!). These are worth the effort and I'll be making them again and again. Thanks Rita!
