delicate and different
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I only used the egg yolk and had a little difficulty folding the almonds and bluberries in - reading the reviews I will add... the whole egg in the future. Also - remove immediately from the baking sheet and put onto the wire racks... this will keep the bottom from getting soggy. Regardless, the tates was phenominal... will def make again.Read more

"Way To A Man's Heart"
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

They say a way to a man's heart is through his stomach, these cookies sure do the trick. I thought it was so cute of Giada to... take a picnic lunch to her man Todd, I have been doing this now for 30 years To all the young brides out there TRUST ME your man will think nothing but loving thoughts of you & how you must really love him to go to the trouble of baking as he bites into these home made cookies They are sooo easy & yummy to boot. I did notice the yolk versus egg I used a whole egg in my recipe BUT make sure you chill the dough in the fridge. You can also try using other fruits for a change such as dried cranberies or cherries when in seasonRead more

Really good, but turned into a limp mess after baked
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

At first tasting the batter I knew the cookies would just be amazing. My friend and I just couldn't stop eating the batter. ... Once I baked them however they were limp and wouldn't rise. I used every single ingredient and am a decent cook, so I couldn't figure out why they were so gooey and limp. They would barely come off the wire cookie racks. After reading the reviews, I'm now begining to think that it was all in the egg. I only used the yolk as the recipe called for. I think maybe the white must have stiffened and fluffed the cookie during baking. I wish I would have known seeing as I even doubled this recipe knowing how delicious it would be.Read more
