    I was looking for something new to bake and saw Michael prepare this
    recipe on a cable show the other night. While I don't think it was difficult,
    it was rather sticky but I worked around that.

    I did half the batch following this recipe exactly and the final product was pretty bland and boring, no excitement to my palate.
    The other half, I decided to add some fresh ground figs and a bit of molasses, then I filled it with my home-made jam instead of the chocolate mixture and it was a definate improvement! I think I might keep working on my version to really make it sing.

    Otherwise, this recipe is a sure disappointment, unless your tastebuds
    are dead. I will NOT make his version again.

    I really enjoyed this recipe. The cookie had a light honey taste, which complemented the rich chocolate / almond filling perfectly. The combination was unexpected, but worked perfectly. I arranged the almonds separately on top of the chocolate (as described by the recipe in the Tra Vigne cookbook which made for a wonderful presentation. I will definitely be including this in my holiday line-up.

    This filling is wonderful but I found the dough too soft and actually too sweet. My husband agreed. I would not make it again.

    Not sure why these are rated as expert?
    I used wax paper and coated with veg.spray. Cookies have a nice flavor and are unique for a cookie exchange. I found that it stayed together better if you cut them while still slightly warm. The only thing I changed was to use slivered almonds instead of whole. I think this was easier to make than a pie is. I Tivo'd it when it was on so that helped to make them as well.
