My dough turned out to be much too thick to drop onto the cookie sheets; I had to roll them into balls by hand. And they weren't really marbleized, more like chocolate cookies. I think that it would have worked out better to mix the chocolate with half of the dough, and then roll a bit of chocolate dough and plain dough together by hand. I was a bit surprised that there were no eggs in this recipe! I omitted the pecans, due to a "taster's" allergy... on average they rated this three stars.

Update: I had so many requests for this delicious cookie, that I made 9 more dozen to give out at Christmas. I tried 1 1/2 tsp. cocoa powder and chopped Ghiradelli's white choc. and used cinnamon sugar on the bottom of the oiled galss. Fantastic! Thanks again for sharing!
