TipsAny nuts can be used in place of pecans in this recipe. Try walnuts, cashews, unsalted macadamia's, almonds ... or a mix of a few types
For a change, dip the cookies in melted white chocolate or milk chocolate
I have had this recipe for a while, DS4 tore it from a magazine one day at the Doctors so I have no idea where it is from but he made a good choice, they are yummy 
members' comments@HomeMum - they are really yummy. I didn't dip them in melted chocolate though.
Obbie - made them with macadamias, yummy
