Excellant Recipe! Finally, I can enjoy Brown Edge Wafers again. Per the recipe, these cookies came out about 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) in diameter and about 1/3 inch (1 cm) thick. I learned to love these cookies via the store-bought version that Nabisco used to sell, which were larger in diameter and a little thiner. To emulate them, I made mine using 1 inch (2.5 cm) balls of dough which I flattened to 1/4 inch (baking time was the same). It made about 45 cookies. I also increased the vanilla to 1 1/2 tsp... just because I LOVE vanilla. I didn't have any pecans, so I left them out.

Excellent recipe! This was a family favorite for generations, but the recipe died with my great aunt. I made them this year to surprise my family and they were a definite hit! I agree that the pecan is totally unnecessary -- this is a pure food and should not be adulterated :0) Also, I made my second batch a bit larger than called for in this recipe. This allows for more contrast with the buttery-yellow centers and the crispy brond edges. A definite must-make for the holidays!
