Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For an extra rich flavor, use butter instead of margarine. If you prefer a lighter texture, consider substituting half of the flour with almond flour. When mixing the ingredients, avoid overmixing to keep the cookies from becoming tough. For a fun twist, add chocolate chips or dried fruits along with the nuts. Be sure to keep an eye on the cookies in the oven as baking times may vary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of nut in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the pecans or walnuts with any nuts you prefer, such as almonds or hazelnuts. If you have nut allergies, feel free to omit them entirely or replace them with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds for added crunch.
What can I use instead of evaporated milk?
If you don't have evaporated milk on hand, you can use whole milk or a non-dairy milk substitute. To mimic the creaminess of evaporated milk, consider using half and half or a mixture of powdered milk and water in equal parts for a similar consistency.
How can I make these cookies more festive?
To add a festive touch, consider incorporating seasonal spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg into the dough. You can also decorate the frosted cookies with colored sprinkles or edible glitter, making them perfect for holiday gatherings or special occasions.
