  1. Mmmm lovely! I halved the recipe and used light brown sugar instead of golden. Also left out the pecans. I used a #60 disher and got 32 cookies (for a half recipe). Ate a 1/2 dozen before they even made it to the cooling rack. These will absolutely be made again! Thanks so much for sharing! :)
