Everyone loves them and these are eally easy to make. I made them exactly as directed and used chopped pecans as the nuts, more finely chopped though! These would be a great addition to a goody tray- thanks for a nice cookie recipe- definite keeper!!

these are my favorite cookies! I've been making them for Christmas for years and everyone loves them. The rice cereal freezes fine. I'd lost my cookbook that had these in them thanks for posting this one Kim!!!!

I skipped the rice cereal because I wasn`t sure it would freeze well till Christmas. Followed all the rest. This cookie came out chewy and sweet just like all the Kids will love. Very easy to make.Cooking time took 10-15 minutes.
