    Delicious! Melt in your mouth cookies!! Made exactly to recipe and they did not flatened out like cookies. However they came out great! I made a big batch for our christmase cookie giveaway.

    Make sure they cooled for a couple minutes on the cookie tray or they will fall apart and then to the rack after the powdered sugar.

    Great cookies! Don't shorten the cooking time, I have that habit, they will crumble. I love the idea of orange and lemon zest in the powdered sugar. That will be my next experiment!
    I only made new cookie recipes this year for Christmas, all from Food Network, and this was one of them; BIG hit.

    These cookies were great! My family really enjoyed them over the holidays. I substituted pecans for the walnuts and they were fabulous!

    I love, love, love this cookie! I've made them 3 times now and get nothing but compliments. I like to wait till they cool completely to powder them because they are very delicate when warm. My seem to stay ball shaped, but they still taste great!!!

    These are like the "Russian tea Cakes" my mother used to make. I LOVE them! I used a silver, traditional cookie sheet. Some of the cookies crumbled as other people have reported. The second batch, I cooked at 350 degrees for 20 minutes and they came out perfectly!! I also tried to make them smaller. Maybe her recipe assumes you are using a non-stick or dark cookie sheet.

    Wholy Moly! These are delicious! After reading the reviews, I decided to add some orange zest to the powder sugar for a little someting extra, kept the size really small (like a small melon ball size, and added three minutes. They cooled for a couple mins on the tray and then on the rack (after the powdered sugar. They were so good. Not too sweet, but definitly dessert. A super simple cookie. I thought maybe a lemon twist for summer time would be good too.

    these were excellent cookies. they are slightly nutty but moist, unlike many of these nutty fingers from my youth. i actually put these in the fridge after i cooked them and they were really good.

    Like the other reviewers, followed the recipe, but these cookies didn't come out well. They smelled yummy, but they never flatened out like cookies. Someone from FN needs to verify that the temperature and ingredients are as stated.

    I loved the taste, and they were so light, they fell apart, I couldn't get them off the cookie sheet, without them falling apart. I followed the recipe to a tee, and I couldn't figure out why they did that.
