Made these two days ago...ended up with a little over 3 dozen. Between my husband and daughter (who seems to drop by more often when there are cookies to be had) there are 6 cookies left. Have to say they taste better the second day, for whatever reason. Great recipe !

Yes, the presveres were left out of the instructions, but if you look at the picture, you can tell that it goes in the indention made with the thumb with the nuts on top. Then baked. This is how I will make them.
