I'm not a big fan of pecans, so I substituted walnuts instead. The cookies still turned out great.

These cookies are a bit time-consuming to make, but they're definitely worth the effort.

The cookies didn't turn out as chewy as I expected. I think I might have overbaked them.

I had some trouble getting the caramel to set. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

The cookies were a little too sweet for my taste. Next time I'll reduce the amount of sugar.
