These are really tasty! I made a few modifications to the directions, but not the actual ingredients. First, I didn't refrigerate them. I used a cookie scoop, and since I wasn't really handling the dough except to dip the ball in the pecans, I didn't find it was necessary to stiffen it up. I also didn't flatten them just because I was lazy, and another reviewer said it wasn't necessary. She was right, they turned out fine! They don't flatten any on their own, so if you want a flatter cookie, you will have to leave that step in. For the frosting, I think I could have made less. I gave each cookie a very generous dollop of frosting and I still had a bit left over. If you like a lot of frosting, make the whole recipe, but otherwise I think 2/3 of the frosting would be plenty. I did use the lemon in the frosting, and I didn't think it was too lemony, but I also think the cookies would be just as good without the lemon, and using milk in place of it. Just depends on what you're in the mood for at the moment! =) Be careful handling the cookies as they are a bit crumbly.
