Not only are these cookies delicious, they're so cute! I got the recipe from my grandmother, who's been making them for years. We usually double the recipe, because they disappear quickly!

I accidentally used salted butter instead of unsalted butter, but the cookies still turned out fine.

I had a hard time finding chopped pecans, so I used a pecan sandies cookie mix instead.

I used a different brand of chocolate chips than the one specified in the recipe, and the cookies still turned out great.

I'm not a fan of caramel, so I omitted it from the recipe. The cookies were still very good.
