This recipe was very close to the real thing. I rolled dough between parchment paper, and didn't have a problem. My son loved them.

fun to make, fun to negotiate how to roll, freeze, etc. my advice for first timers is to be patient and allow the freezer to do it's thing. i started off on parchment paper rather than wax paper, it was easier to handle, but wax paper was ok too. also rather than putting the cookie sheets in the freezer just lift the sheets and put them in the freezer, they are still pliable so the handling will not harm them. and they taste great (please don't tell my friends there were FIVE dozen.

Time intensive and very high-maintenance, but the final cookie is worth it. I used parchment paper (not wax paper and didn't have any "sticking" issues. I would also recommend that the butter is completely softened, otherwise the dough has trouble coming together as you roll it out.

I have been making this for almost 15 years. I roll up the dough into a log, like slice and bake dough from the store. I slice thin with a knife after it freezes hard. Works like a dream! and a delicious hit every Christmas!

I grew up in the Moravian Church, and these are NOT, I REPEAT NOT Moravian Cookies. Real Moravian Cookies do not have dry mustard or white pepper in them at all. I don't know where Food Network Kitchen Staff got their recipe but this is by far not a Moravian Cookie.

Simplified things by covering the dough with wax paper and rolling out directly onto the cookie sheet . Was able to roll super thin this way. Cut rectangles with a rippled pastry cutter or straight edged pizza cutter.

I have made these 3 years in a row. They are good, but the recipe is lacking in respect to the wax paper. I struggled with the mixture sticking to the paper even after freezing. As a novice baker, why do they tell you to pre-heat the oven 45 minutes before you actually need it? I really would like to know the secret of the mix not sticking to the wax paper! 1/2 tsp of white pepper is plenty. The rating was only to give others a heads up on the wax paper issue. They are good cookies.

These cookies were such a big hit at work, I had people begging me for the recipe. They're pretty easy to make (just throw a bunch of stuff in a mixer and keep for a while -- especially if you freeze the dough. Definitely try it!

Out of the 12 this year, there were maybe 3 that I would say are home runs...this is one of them. Excellent flavor, good texture, the house smelled great, and everyone loves them. A little labor intensive and require a good bit of patience, but worth it. I think the key to this one is to use high quality, freshly ground spices...not the stuff that has been in your cabinet for three years!

These are wonderful! I used the larger amount of the pepper and they have just the right amount of pop! I also cut them out at stars and piped some white decorations on them to dress them up for the Christmas trays. I received several requests for the recipe. Way to go Food Network!
