This batch of cookies was not great, sorry to say. I gave a cookie or two to The Woman I Love, and she thought they were way too sweet. I'd have to agree, as it took me over 3 weeks to eat the rest of them by myself. (I should note that the batch size was pretty accurate - I got 23 cookies out of the mixture, as compared to the 24 the recipe says.) I thought that I had too much of the pecans. I used only 1/2 cup plus 3 more tsp. of nuts. Maybe I should've flattened the balls even more, or made the nuts even denser on top of the cookies. Also, I'd never really iced a cookie like this before. Again, I had leftovers - maybe a 1/2 cup of icing left. Maybe we're supposed to drench the cookies, but I thought I was pretty generous as it was, and the icing was already dripping off the cooling racks here and there. Maybe it was just my rookie technique, but the proportions here didn't work for me. And even after that, they results were just too sweet to enjoy all that much.

Not impressive. reduced sugar to 1 cup still too sweet. Chilled for 1.5 hr, coming out not crisp, dont know what is wrong.
