Very good. Almost like a shortbread. I had enough baking done with nuts, so instead I used chopped red and green candied cherries. Next time I will double the amount to 1 cup.

My husband said these are his "new favorite cookies." Can't get much better than that! :)

Not very exciting. They do taste good, but the dough was very hard to work with, It was way to soft and sticky even after refridgerating overnight. They were hard to roll, hard to cut and didn"t come out looking very good. The colors and pecans do make them look festive. They were not a big hit. I probably won't make them again.

These tasted good, but they are sort of boring. I wouldn't spend this much time on a cookie unless it's more flavorful. Good with coffee or tea.

These were easy to make and looked very pretty. However... we thought they were very dull - just not a lot of flavor. I do think I will try them again and maybe add some lemon flavoring. I am giving them this many stars because they looked beautiful on my cookie tray at Christmas.

Only average flavor and the dough was sticky and hard to work with.

This was a super easy recipe to follow, and they turned out just like the picture. Everyone liked them a lot. Had a nice cream cheese flavor.

These are good cookies that have a nice cream cheese flavor as long as you don't overbake them. I left out the pecans because of personal preference but all the other ingredients were the same. The bake time listed is way too long for 1/4 inch cookies. 10 minutes was perfect.

This is a great cookie recipe, and easy to prepare. I found that putting the colored sugar into a large zipper bag and then dropping the whole roll in to coat it worked best. Also, make sure to push the pecan into the dough a bit on top so that it will stay put. I used my KitchenAid mixer to cream the sugar and cream cheese, I think it would be a bit difficult by hand. Also, doubling the recipe fills the kitchenaid bowl to the brim......
