Recipe Comments and Reviews Sort by: Reviews General Comments View All » Rating Christmas favorite. I have also made these without the almond bar- just dipped in royal icing flavored with almond extract. Posted December 28, 2015 by Sherri Rating I love these and think they jazz up a cookie tray! Posted December 11, 2013 by Jill Rating Would someone help me figure out what I did wrong with these? I had such high expectations and was disappointed with the end result. I am looking for a couple of new recipes for my array of Christmas cookies and thought I had found one in this recipe. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Instead of rolling into a log, I refrigerated the dough for the required time and then rolled it into little balls which I then flatted with a glass dipped in sugar. The cookies were consistent in size and I thought they had baked up beautifully. Unfortunately, they were extremely brittle and I lost at least one half of them to breakage from either lifting them off the rack to cool completely or when dippingt them into the melting chocolate. Help! I would love to make these again and have them turn out the way they are supposed to be. Posted December 06, 2013 by Jean Rating These cookies are delicious and easy to make! Posted December 29, 2010 by Anonymous Rating Wonderful! Posted December 29, 2010 by Andrea Rating I made these cookies for my family and a work event and they went over extremely well. They are beautiful, tasty, and easy to make. This is definitely a reciped I will keep and use over and over again. Thank you! Posted December 20, 2010 by Traci K. Rating I have made these and can say that they definitely rate 5 stars. Buttery crisp on the outside and tender crumb on the inside. They come together fast and present beautifully on a holiday cookie tray.
