Pecan Fingers (Puckle Warts)

4.3(15)

"When I was growing up, my mother would bake at least 20 different kinds of cookies each Christmas, but this is one of our favorites," writes Helen McKnight of Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan. "My father gave the cookie its name, which he said meant 'pecan fingers' in some foreign language. The name stuck, and I still smile when I make them."
