    Yuck!!! Threw them away. The almond paste was very gross. Very expensive (almond paste and a waste of time.

    Terrible end result. The dough was too soft and it ran throughout the pan. A waste of my time and product. I agree with the others posted. Should have not trusted the recipe and added the flour. This recipe needs reviewed by anne and adjusted or commented on so that we all know why it does not turn out properly.

    I have to agree with the person who gave this recipe a one star because it is impossible to creat a cookie out of a mooshy dough and expect it to come out a solid. My almond paste was a bit moist & so was the dough.

    I added a 1/4 cup of all purpose flour to this recipe and got a wonderful perfect cookie.I read other recipes just like Ann's and they all added flour so why didn't Ann?

    I did NOT use a pastry bag but instead just rolled the cookie into a ball and placed it on my baking sheet.

    I also baked cookie at 300F and not 350F because all other recipes said 300F would work best...it did work nicely. I don't think Ann is the best chef on TV but she does have some good ideas just maybe not as clear as I would like to see.

    Great cookie recipe - better than the bakery! Like other reviewers, rather than piping the dough from a pastry bag, I used a spoon to form the one inch mounds. Yum and so pretty!

    SO! SO! EXCELLENT! After years of trying... I have finally found the best recipe for these cookies.... They are the best! My family and friends loved them...the touch of honey, and the lemon zest were the magic touch. I use my food processor to mix the dough and I used a small mellon baller to form them perfectly..... Thanks Anne, you are the best! Delicious! Fantastic!

    I made these over the weekend and they recieved RAVE reviews! I would change (2 things next time - toast the pine nuts up a bit first and use a little bit more nuts on top of the cookie. The Dough itself was out of this world and worth the exensive ingredients :
