Very good! I knew they'd be good, so I doubled the recipe! I toasted my pecans in a medium-hot iron skillet, stirring constantly for a few minutes, till fragrant. Although I used salted butter, I believe this would have been even better with 1/4 teaspoon added salt. My cookies baked for exactly 20 minutes, and they soaked up quite a bit of powdered sugar while warm! Tagged for Photo Tag, due January 4th, with extension.
