These are very good! I skipped the nuts because my husband isn't a very big fan of pecans and that's all I had on hand. The directions were easy to follow, although I made a couple of changes based on previous reviewers' suggestions. I chilled the dough overnight and then rolled to approximately 1/4" thickness. I decreased the bake temperature to 325. The cook time was around 15-16 minutes for my oven. My husband and I both thought that the cookies were very tasty - even without the powdered sugar sprinkled on top (so I actually left them plain). An easy cookie that has an impressive presentation. Thank you for the recipe!

I rolled out the dough and refrigerated it for about 1 hr. before rolling it out and rolled it out to about 1/4". I rolled the cookies up and stuck them in the freezer for about 1/2 hr. to make them easier to slice. I used a sharp knife to slice and it worked like a charm. Baked at 325 for 10 minutes and the bottoms were lightly brown and perfectly cooked. These are awesome cookies and loved by my entire family. I will double the recipe next time as they went so fast this time around. I will be making these for my cookie trays during the holidays this year too!

These are very good cookies...the taste and texture are exceptional. I did have to experiment with the recipe as I wasn't sure exactly what "roll very thin" meant or approx what size the dough should be rolled out to. The first half I rolled almost paper thin into a 10 x 12 rectangle, rolled up from long side. They were very hard to roll and slice; I got 20 cookies. I baked them for 10 minutes and they were slightly overdone. The second half I rolled into a 10 x 10 square, a little thicker. They were a little easier to roll. I refrigerated after rolling for about a half hour and this helped with the slicing; they didn't squash down. I got 16 out of this half. I baked these for 10 minutes also, but at 325. They came out softer and more delicate and look much more appetizing! I think it would help to specify the size to roll the dough out and it definitely helped chilling the roll. Thanks for sharing this...everyone loves them and now I know what I have to do for them to work for me.

My kids loved these! Definitely chill the dough ahead of time as it makes it much easier to roll out and use a fairly sharp knife to cut or the dough will tear.Great with a cup of tea for a late night snack!Thanks for the recipe.
