Hi Jack,
Thanks for the comment. I have a few different pictures of the cookie, so here’s a new one.
Im sure it tastes lovely but im sorry, it really does look like cat vomit…
Steven, these are guaranteed to taste better when made in Louisiana.
Looks like something I need to try
Hi Chloe,I don’t have that Carol Walters book, but I’m glad you found the recipe. Sounds like a good one.
I found the recipe I was looking for… Thanks! I just love cookies! 🙂
Very yummy… I am trying to come up with my baking list for the holidays. Do you have the Great Cookies book by Carole Walter? There is a recipe there for White Chocolate Whalers. That looks yummy!! If you have the book and the recipe could you pass it along?Thanks! Keep up the great work! I am always hungry after stopping here!!
They look delicious…and, I just got a pound of fresh pecan halves from Georgia….hmmmm….
Sarah, I know the feeling. So many recipes, so little time.
What am I goiong to do? I have to try this recipe but I have so many cookies on the go righht now we will have to start eating them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I just can’t get the praline glaze out of my mind! By the way, I love the new look.
These are similar, but a bit different. One main thing is that these use brown butter and not Blue Bonnet Margarine. However, you could actually make these with margarine and they’d still taste good.
these look really yummy. are these the ones you made up for the Quaker contest a while back? if not, where did you get the recipe? just curious.
