Maybe it's just that these weren't what we were expecting, but they were just not that good to us. I followed the instructions to the letter, except for the part where it says to add pecans, then beat. I've never in my life made a recipe where you beat in pecans. I'm not even sure how one would do that, then to use a wooden spoon to stir in the flour after? I'm assuming that his is a mistake. I ended up swapping them myself. I beat in the flour and stirred in the pecans. Once it was done there is no way I could have ever stirred in that flour. The dough was absolutely too thick for that. Aside from that, I followed the recipe exactly as printed. The cookies, however, are just very, VERY crumbly. One bite and the things just fall apart. Also they taste heavily of dough. It appears to be shortbread-ish so I'm assuming that's why they're also not very sweet, and that's fine, but the dough flavor is overdone. I really can't imagine what it would need for improvement, but it's very likely that it's just our taste in cookies. My mother would probably love these, but our family isn't keen on them. If I had it to do over again, I would add an egg or two (to keep the cookies from crumbling apart) and perhaps I'd use granulated sugar in the dough, instead of the powdered. The powdered is fine for the outside, but it just didn't seem to do well for the dough. Just my opinion of course, which doesn't matter really.
