Butter Pecan Icebox Cookies image

My grandmother used to bake very similar cookies. As a little girl, I always loved their butterscotch flavor and was fascinated by the way Grandmother prepared these cookies (from logs that she took out of the icebox!). These are simple but delicious old-fashioned cookies. The dough logs can be stored in the freezer, then pulled out to defrost a day or two before baking time.-Lisa Varner, El Paso, Texas

These cookies are too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as good as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I accidentally added too much salt to the dough. The cookies were still good, but they were a bit salty.

I had some trouble finding chopped pecans, so I used walnuts instead. They worked just fine.
