I used ground almonds as I did not have pecans on hand. The cookies were gone much too quickly. Great recipe.

Delicious! Perfect change from making regular pecan sandies. One of the first cookies to go around the holidays.

I made these today and they turned out great! This is a keeper, I followed the recipe as written. I thought the dough was a bit loose so I chilled for an hour before forming my balls.

These were a nice change. This was one of 9 recipes that we baked this holiday. They held up well.

I followed this recipe to the letter. These were good, but almost too crumbly. They fall apart as soon as they're bitten, but at least they taste good as they crumble.

These were pretty good. I was concerned with the little amount of sugar at first, but when measuring I didn't completely level it, so it added a little extra to my recipe. I thought they were going to be more like a chocolate pecan sandie cookie. But, they tasted just like a "chocolate version of a snowball cookie." I used a 1 Tblsp. cookie scoop and put the cookies on parchment instead of a sprayed pan. I got 32 baked cookies from the recipe. When cool I did coat them with the powdered sugar, but it took about twice as much as instructed. Thanks again, MARBALET for another simple to follow and good recipe. As they remind me of snowballs, I may make these as a Christmas cookie this year.

Excellent little cookie, I love how the cocoa taste comes through! I added sliced almonds instead of pecans cause that's what I had on hand, they came out very tasty! Also I have made these twice and did not bother with the powdered sugar, they still were great tasting without being overly sweet!

These are what they are, chocolate pecan SANDIES! I guess I'm not that much of a sandy textured cookie, but they are easy to make and are exactly what they advertise. A chocolatey, pecan-filled, dryish cookie. Tasty, but not a favorite in my house. For those of you who like sandy cookies, a winner!

This cookie has become a much anticipated addition to my Christmas cookie platter. I follow the recipe exactly but I make them bite size and just bake them for 15 minutes. Delicious~!
