This was way easy and very good. I followed the directions but I had to handle these gingerly. They were a bit fragile. Will definitely do these again. Good recipe! -
WOW! These are so easy to make and so very tasty. It was ready within no time, great to make when unexpected guests come over. I particularly like the appearance of these before they are baked , they reseble our popular Indian sweet 'ladoo'!! Very nice cookies. -
We love these cookies. They're great year-round. One slight difference: we use 2 t. real vanilla and 2 t. almond extract. It really brings out that yummy nutty flavor without being too sweet. I also love adding food coloring to them depending on the time of year (red & green at Christmastime, or yellow, pink, & purple for Easter!!). -
These cookies were delicious. I found them almost too easy to make! I'm of mexican descent and brought these to a family get together and presented them as just "cookies". My great aunt said "these cookies remind me of polvorones!" I then was excited to tell her that thats what I was shooting for!!:) Will definitely make again.
