Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size It Up

Sweets can be enjoyed on occasion as part of a balanced diet but remember to keep tabs on portions.

Cooking Know-How

To prevent cookies from spreading out too much, make sure the dough is well chilled before shaping into balls.

Make it Easy

Use a blender or food processor to quickly grind the pecans. Just be careful not to overprocess them or you'll end up with nut butter!

The cookies tasted good but they didn't keep their round shape despite chilling the dough.

Very delicious! Its easy. One of my Favorite recipes. I shaped cookies in a ball and placed them in the fridge for 5 min. to keep them a little firm. I then popped it in the Oven 350F pre set timer for 20 min. I rotated the cookies when it was about 10 min so it could bake evenly. Turned out Perfect! My Family loves it!

Even though mine looked more like melted Florida snowballs (which is appropriate since that's where I live), there were a big hit! I even threw in some colored sugar (just a bit of blue) to give it a shimmering look.

also great with a piece of slightly frozen chocolate or kiss rolled into the dough.

These cookies were some of the best cookies I have ever made! I made them for the first time over the holidays and also gave them as gifts to friends & neighbors. I've already gotten several calls for the recipe.
