We enjoyed this cookie, but would not rate it among the top ten. The cookies were a little too sweet. If I made them again I would add more pecans and use less sugar.

The cookies I made using this recipe were really good, however because we restrict the use of sugar and fat in our diet, I reduced the 1 1/2 cups of sugar to 2/3 cup and the 1 cup of butter to 1/2 cup. The cookies turned out to be delicious and quite sweet enough and were much more aligned with our diet, which we believe to be more nutritious with less sugar and fat, to say nothing of the smaller colesterol content.
