Scandinavian Pecan Cookies image

We enjoyed these rich, buttery cookies at a bed-and-breakfast in Galena, Illinois, and the hostess was kind enough to share her simple recipe. The pretty nut-topped treats are so special you could give a home-baked batch as a gift. -Laurie Knoke DeKalb, Illinois

These cookies are a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try chilling the dough for longer next time.

I had a hard time finding pecan pieces, so I used chopped walnuts instead. They turned out great!
