I love walnuts, especially out of the shell; but the pecans just seem to give the cookies a bit of a ‘sandier’ texture, and a little less bitterness.
We have pecan trees so this just got put the wedding cookies on the cookie list! It does look very easy to make.
I have my grandmother’s set of cookie irons but never use them. The shells always seem to uncrisp themselves too quickly. Can’t imagine stuffing them as they’d melt into goo within two minutes. Maybe need another recipe.
