The dough when I mixed everything in together was so wet I thought I must have done something wrong..but they smelled so good I tried one before they baked the second time...they taste like cake!! For that reason I took them out early and they're scrumptious :o)I used walnuts, not toasted, instead of pecans which worked well as well. To get these to make 24 cookies, the logs should be a bit longer than 8 inches.
