These were great!!! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out delicious. My family loved them!!! I used chopped pecans for the nuts on half the dough and made the rest without.(Some in my family don't care for nuts.) Thanks, will be making again.

This is definitely not for the cook who has time constraints in the kitchen, but if you want a seriously tasty treat for yourself or your company, this is it! Followed the recipe right on down, using pistachios for the nuts & will definitely make them again before the end of the year! Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
