The almond paste is very tough, and was hard on the mixer. But the result was a good cookie.

Flavor was great. Didn't have trouble with the ingredients. They looked great in the oven, but quickly went flat on the cooling rack! Did not see your updated recipe fix till now. This is the second time I am making these, so I will try again!
Any other suggestions? Can you double the recipe? It is never enough!

Tasted wonderful and really easy with the right tools. I did not have a stand mixer so I used my hand mixer that is now in the trash. It quit under the pressure. Also use parchment paper--the cookies stuck to a greased cookie sheet.

Not sure how to rate these. They are a bit of a pain to make, and a little pricey, but hey it's Christmas. They are very chewy and after a day in the tin they were even softer. I will try it again and maybe use a little less honey and more sugar. I didn't have a pastry bag and used a Ziploc bag, which worked but it would have been easier with a disposable pastry bag. I also might try baking them longer. The other thing is the amount of almond paste. It doesn't come in 15 oz cans. It comes in 7oz tubes. So the recipe is a little off. The taste was good.

Great tasting cookie! I made my own almond paste (probably not again and my dough was too wet. Unfortunately I did not read the reviews prior about the canned paste and possibly adding a little flour to thicken. I did use the pastry bag but needed to fold & clip bottom between trays so it wouldn't run out. I also cooked them at 300 degree oven for 15 - 18 " till light but slightly golden. My family loved them!

I followed this recipe to the letter and the cookies still came out raw in the middle and brown on the surface. Note that the recipe was altered after the video was shot. I did set my oven to 350 on bake/convection so perhaps that affected the baking irregularity. I used two spoons to scoop out the cookie dough - did not need the pastry bag. I am going to try it again though because it seems like a simple enough recipe.

Fantastic cookie! This is an easy and fast recipe. The cookies are light, sweet and nutty. I did not have a pastry bag, tried a ziplock bag but the dough was too heavy. I ended up using a spoon and rolled dough in the palms of my hands. The dough is sticky but works ok if you wet your fingers a little.
