We love this recipe, make it every Christmas!! I double the amount of pecans, just because we love them. We add a little salt, too--1/8 tsp. We also double dip them in the sugar, like you recomended--first after cooling on wire briefly but still warm, and the second when completely cool. I find them a little fragile to do in a bag on the first sugar, so I sugar them in a bowl. But it sure works well for the second! If you want to make them 3/4 inch balls, cook at 350o for 15-18 minutes. -
I have this recipe as well and they're sooooo good melt-in-your-mouth cookies! -
Wonderful cookies Barb! I doubled dusted them with the powdered sugar per your suggestion. They're delicate, buttery and GOOD! They're also all gone!
