I added my own little touch.... an extra teaspon of vanilla, 1/4 tsp of almond extract, and about 1/2 tsp of cinnamon.... everyone loved them.. great recipe, thanks so much!

These do not taste like Keebler cookies at all. They taste like regular sugar cookies with pecans in them. I followed the directions exactly. I will not be makine these again.

Perfect. Thanks!

Absolutely delicious!

These were so light, crisp and delicious. I scaled the recipe down to only 48 cookies and it still worked wonderful. I also used unsalted butter instead of margarine. Yum. Yum.

Oh man! The dough is sooo good! I had to lower the oven temp to 350 for my oven. I flattened them a bit with a glass before rolling in sugar which made them a little cruchier. Now I need to make it with almonds! Thanks for the recipe!

I have used many recipes from this site, but this is the first that I have been compelled to rate. I use alot of nuts in my baking, particularly pecans and this recipe is my new favorite way to use and eat pecans. I did make a few alterations to suit my taste. First, I used butter instead of margarine. I used 1/2 white and 1/2 packed brown sugar, doubled the vanilla extract and added an extra cup of chopped pecans. It is very important to beat the butter and vegetable oil with the sugars very, very thoroughly, until smooth and creamy, then add the other ingredients as the recipe states. The dough was thin so I put it in the refrigerator for about an hour to firm it up, as suggested by another member. Then used my cookie scoop to form even balls, rolled them in sugar and baked them for about 6-8 minutes on air bake cookie sheets. These really are the perfect cookie in appearance and taste. My fiance and his co-workers agree Thank you Mary Ann for this wonderful recipe.

If I could give this recipe a 10 I would! This is extremely delicious, I did sub. the margarine for butter, butter makes everything better. Try this you won't be disappointed!

Easy and delicious. I used butter instead of margarine and halved the recipe, and they came out great. I also baked them for only 9 minutes because I like a softer cookie. Thanks for the recipe!

Move over Keebler's I have found something even better then Ernie the Elf's! Me and my husband really enjoy these, our four kids can take them or leave them.

MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH-YUMM! I have two words for all you who are having so much trouble getting your cookies out of the pan. PARCHMENT PAPER buy it, use it, you will have no more problems and you will never go back. Since some people said this didn't have enough flavor, I compared it with other recipes. Due to this I used 2 tsp of vanilla, 1.5 tsp of salt, and of course, who would use margarine when you could use butter. Beat the heck out of the sugars and butter and oil and eggs so it is almost like cake batter. The dough is very soft so a quick chill in the fridge makes it easy to work with. Very well liked, have had someone ask for the recipe where ever I take them. Thanks Mary Ann-Permanantly in my cookie recipe box.

This is a good recipe, cookies come out nice and soft. I only cooked them for 11 minutes @ 375. The down side is that I feel that it needs more flavor. So I added a maple glaze to the top after they were cooked and cooled. Still pretty yummy though especially with a tall glass of milk for dipping in. Yummy!!

My dough was too sticky to roll into balls so I added about 1/3 cup of flour. I had no other problems but will try adding alittle more sugar next time, too. I let my cookies cool then put some of them into a bag with powder sugar to dust them and they turned out to taste like a cross between danish wedding cookies and pecan sandies...very yummy. I also only dipped top side in sugar and pressed them down some before cooking to flatten as I love to dip my cookies in milk, hot tea, and/or coffee. The next time I make these I'm going to add a cup of mini-chocolate chips.

I was out of butter and vegetable oil, so I replaced the butter with butter-flavored shortening and I replaced the vegetable oil with peanut oil. It worked out rather well. These cookies are WONDERFUL. I'll definitely be making them again... hopefully with the right ingredients at hand. :)

These are great! The only changes I made were that I halved the white sugar to 1/2 cup and added 1/2 cup of brown sugar. I also used 2 tsp of vanilla. Lastly, I used 1 stick of lite margarine and 1 stick of lite butter with no problems. These are much softer than the sandies you buy at the store, but they have the same taste. I prefer them soft, anyway.:-) Enjoy!
