How can I achieve perfectly round cookies?

Use a round cookie cutter to scoot around your cookies when they first get out of the oven.

Can you top these cookies with other nuts?

Absolutely! I used walnuts but pecans sprinkled on top would add a nice crunch and nutty element to your cookies, too.

How can I add some extra flavor to my cookies?

The possibilities are endless, but for this recipe, I love adding a caramel drizzle over the cookies and frosting to add extra flavor.
