These cookies were delicious but somewhat difficult to make. I kept the loaf in the fridge over night and then popped it into the freezer for a few minutes before I got to slicing. I may have baked the loaf too long because I just had a heck of a time slicing it thin and even. It was almost impossible! But the cookies tasted good, regardless of my issues. I'm looking forward to trying the recipe again.

I've made these for two years running and I really like them. They are very time consuming to do (like biscotti, but I don't mind doing a fussy cookie around the holidays. They are really crisp and light-- definately for someone who wants a delicate flavor rather than a bold one.

These turned out fantastic. Nice and light and crispy! I've made a couple of batches with different variations using spices and dried fruit and even a savoury version with preserved lemon and chilies.
People who have no imagination and are hopeless in the kitchen should not post reviews and comments as they are not helpful to anyone.

These may be some of the best tea cookies I've ever made. They are light, not too sweet, and as described in the recipe, simply crumble in your mouth. Slicing the cookie loaf is a little time-consuming, but well worth the effort. I was able to make 60 cookies out of 1 batch, all of which were quickly consumed at my dinner party. I definitely plan on making these year-round. Thanks for the recipe!

These cookies are wonderful. I plan on serving them for breakfast on Christmas morning while we open our gifts. They would also be good for Santa Clause with some eggnog or wassail.

I've been getting the 12 days of cookies since they began. This is the best year yet. The selections of cookies were different, unusual, and delicious! Thanks Food Network, you've made our holiday cookies even better this year!

I have never rated any recipes; however, I read the ratings before I make them. Some of these ratings are insulting to the chef and frankly, useless to the reader. Before, I would just see the number of stars. Now, I read them more to make my judgement. I found this year's recipes be more versatile than ever. I cannot wait to see where the next day recipe is from. This one is no exeption. Please go to the specialty stores to find the pistachio nuts. I made them, they are good.

I have to agree with others, this was my first time with these recipes and was excited about getting them, these weren't very desirable to take the time to make. A big disappointment for me and I guess others too. Sorry.

rate the recipe NOT your like or dislike of the cookie choices. These recipes were different for me but I found that to be a plus. This recipe was no exception. I couldn't find raw whole pistachios so I just used regular ones from the store. Still good!!

It always amazes me that people will rate a recipe with one star before they have tried it or they will change the ingredients and then say it was horrible. Please people, for the sake of the rest of us, make the recipes as stated with the proper ingredients or don't rate the recipe at all.
