Just like the ones my great grandma used to make! I have her recipe but the 'handfuls' as measurements never worked out for me. This recipe tastes great! I did half and half white to whole wheat flour and it's wonderful! Thanks very much! I like mine plain or with strawberry jam.

I doubled the recipe the first time I made it: it was a bit time consuming. Let me tell you these were a hit! And they do taste great. The egg whites really hold the pecans on the bottom of the cookie! As this recipe is written, I used 1/4 tsp maple syrup instead of the 1/8 tsp flavouring. Not sure if it added much, but they did taste great. For the icing, I did as this recipe indicated except used only 6 tblsp of milk. I didn't need to add more than 1 cup icing sugar, it was a perfect consistency, and had a really nice, sweet, dark chocolate taste.

I didn't have ginger, but otherwise followed recipe, and doubled the sauce because i was serving over rice... this is a great recipe, thank you!
