I made the dough up ahead of time, rolled it into balls and froze them and then just baked what I needed. I like that it makes a big batch, too!<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"11\/21\/2014 10:00","GUID":"7F3C0DA56481458C528156B7576069DF","MemberId":30612,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Grammy Debbie","SubmittedDate":"11\/21\/2014 10:00"},{"Comment":"

I LOVE this recipe and have made it many times since it came out in 1998. It makes a big batch so I freeze some for later.<\/p>
Over the years I've made some changes to make a lower fat pecan version. Here's what I did: substitue butter flavor shortening for butter (you may need to add a few drops of water to make the cookie dough easy to handle), substitute 1 cup of chopped pecans for the 2 cups of almonds. I've even skipped rolling the dough in sugar without my family missing the extra sugar.<\/p>
I encourage everyone to give Toffee Almond Sandies a try, one of the best cookies I've ever tasted.<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"05\/01\/2012 10:09","GUID":"a006bfc4b15c4757ae6e079ba80c194a","MemberId":6640556,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"gogrannygo2","SubmittedDate":"05\/01\/2012 10:09"},{"Comment":"
