Loved the way these turned out in terms of presentation, but living in a dry and high altitude climate, I found that they turned out a little dry. Don't know what I'd recommend to keep them from turning into something closer to biscotti, but I liked them enough to experiment with them.

I needed a recipe for my daughters class from Spain. This was easy but a little time consuming. However, after watching the video and following the recipe exactly, they turned out great and looked exactly like the picture. One helpful hint...keep putting a little flour on your hands when rolling so the dough doesn't stick to hands.

If there is a better cookie with a more original taste, I'd like to see it! I made these at Christmas along with 15 other more traditional Christmas cokies. Everyone raved about these and sought them out much more than the trads. I will make them this week for a visit to our church by our Bishop. Definitely a "special" cookie with a very high yield.!

Slightly wetting your hands to work with the dough, solves the problem of sticking.

Do not waste time with this recipe - following the recipe to the letter, the dough turns out sticky and useless.

So I have to make a Spanish dish for my Spanish class along with my other classmates and it took me quite a while to find something cheap,easy,fun,and something that wont take forever to make[; and I chose to use this recipe for the country of Spain,and i kind of need the bibliography or;back ground history of this dish so far I know that it represents the large community of Spain's sephardic Jews,and thats pretty much it.I'm still trying to find more background history for this dish but I am excited to make this for my classmates! :D You rock Food network!!

Another suggestion for the leftover tahini is to make hummus. That's why I happened to have it on hand! There are many recipes for it on this sight. Enjoy :

Rachel a version of this cookie is also made in Italy at Christmas - I'm going to botch the spelling but they are called susameilli.

I think if we look carefully at recipes you will notice many similarities across different cultures

Geez Rachel, what happened to the HOLIDAY spirit???

If you'll notice this recipe hails from SPAIN....as stated it is also the recipe for the Sephardic Jewish cracker. The recipe is actually a variation of what the Spanish call Rosquillas......AND Rosquillas ARE a Christmas tradition.

Also, it is quite clear in the heading that the Sephardic Jewish cookie/cracker is served at Shabbat and during holidays.....so if that part IS wrong, then a proper scolding may be warranted.....but it looks like you missed the boat on this one and OWE food network the apology! And obviously not everyone can KNOW or be familiar with every religion and its practices....so give us a break!!!!!

this recipe under "christmas cookies" is absurdly ridiculous to me!! it's a sephardic jewish cracker and therefore OBVIOUSLY not eaten on christmas. it is international but labeling it as jewish and under christmas cookies is just too stupid and ironic for my taste. also a little bit offensive
i'm quite disappointed, food network!!!

I'm not sure if Janine from Seattle will read this since her review was about a year ago but she mentioned something about finding unique ways to use her left over tahini so I thought I'd make a suggestion. I grew up in the middle east and one of the things they used to feed us kids in the winter months was a mixture of something very similar to molasses with tahini on toast. The mixture was about half and half so it lightens the color of molasses somewhat but thickens the texture. It was a tasty spread to have on toast during cold winter months. Now that I've written to you about this I'm going to have to try making some for myself and bring back those memories. As for these cookies, they are yummy btw. I'd definitely recommend them.
