I made these cookies gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. They turned out just as good as the regular version.

I'm not a big fan of pecans, so I substituted walnuts instead. They turned out great!

These cookies didn't turn out as well as I hoped. I think I overcooked them a little.

I found the dough to be a little too dry. I had to add some extra sour cream to make it workable.
