Afternoon Pecan Pie Cookie Debate

So the afternoon Pecan Pie Cookie debate... 

(Please forgive the terrible rainy day photos.) 

The 1st batch looked very similar to the "Land O' Lakes" cookie picture given with the recipe. Taste wise, I do think they turned out good.

Never one to be satisfied with "good" I made a second batch adding an extra 1/4 cup here and there and mixed all the ingredients together instead of the "thumb print" version.  The 2nd batch isn't as pretty as the 1st, but sometimes taste over beauty. I believe the 2nd version wins taste wise!

The girls are coming by later to sample each. A hard job, but someone has to do it!
