These cookies were a bit dry. I think I would add more butter or oil next time.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. They spread out a lot in the oven.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out great. They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I loved the pecan flavor.

These pecan puffs were a hit at my holiday party! They were so easy to make and they turned out perfectly. I used a mini muffin tin and they baked up in just 10 minutes. The powdered sugar coating gave them a nice, festive touch.
