These cookies were a HUGE hit at my annual cookies and cocktails party! I made them and thought they turned out great. Don't crowd the cookies on the cookie sheet and follow the recipe and drop an actual tablespoon of the cookie dough. The cookies spread out and become very thin just like a praline. If your making theses cookies and expect them to taste exactly like a praline you'll be disappointed but they have a great flavor! I will definitely make these again!!! Also DO NOT melt the butter it needs to be softened otherwise the cookies will spread too much...
Crispy Praline Cookies
