I hae never baked with Pine Nuts before. I made these for a Tea and they are absolutely YUMMY. I put them in the frig for a few days and they stayed fine.

After reading all the reviews I knew I had a winner....Not! Taste was wonderful but, they did not hold their shape as pictured! I am considered to be an Expert baker so I was so disappointed. I made them for my Book Club meeting. Everyone raved about them but they were not as pictured. What did I do wrong?? I adore Giada and have never had one of her recipes fail me but his oe did. I want to make them again but I want the picture perfect cookie. HELP!!

i just made these cookies and they were amazing, everyone in my family loved them. in my convection oven, they took 10 minutes exactly, and i only made about 1/3 of the icing, and still didn't even use it all. these kept really well in the fridge, too (i baked half the first day i made the batter, then kept the rest rolled in a log and baked them several days later. i also used slightly more apricots than called for. these were seriously perfect, one of the best simple little cookies i've ever made.

Not too sweet, but definitely delicious! Mine were just a little crispy on the outside, but chewy on the inside. The icing was fantastic - I wanted mine to be a little firmer, so I used 1 cup of powdered sugar and 4 tablespoons of Amaretto. Still had plenty left over!

Made these cookies twice this Christmas, they are excellent!! The mixture of nuttiness and the sweet-sour apricots make it so fresh and bring a different taste than all the other Christmas cookies people usually make!! Got a ton of compliments for them, they are excellent with coffee or tea and keep well, without drying out! I will make these cookies again and again!

I did not even get a chance to ice these and they were gone! Everyone loved them. A buttery cookie with a nice chewiness from the apricots and crunch from the nuts. Bravo!!!! Easy as can be to make too.

The Frosting is fantastic, just delicius , but needs more apricots, I put 1 cup and probably I will put another 1/2 cup next time.
Is a keeper for next Christmas and for every party. thanks Giada.

This cookie has wonderful flavor. I used 1/2 vanilla and 1/2 almond extract. Also, made the icing with powdered sugar, half & half and Cointreau. I really like the orange flavor with the apricots. Thanks Giada!!

I made this as gifts last year and received nothing but compliments. I added a twist: lemon zest in the batter and a little splash of dark rum in the icing. Cuts the sweetness just right. Making these for the office cookie exchange this year!

Made double the recipe for Christmas, but I don't think they will last the five more days till Christmas, Easy and delicious. I forgot the pine nuts and didn't even miss them. Delicious.
