    Very tasty, delicious cookie. However, I had to add an additional cup of flour because with just the one and half the recipe called for, it was more of a batter instead of a dough. My husband loved them and I will definitely be making these very often.

    I made these first at Christmas and absolutely loved them. They are my new favorite cookie. I did make the rolls a little longer than the 12 inches to make them a little smaller around. The cut width is great.
    My problem now is only having one with my afternoon tea.

    These were great! I did make an adjustment or two based on comments from previous posters. Added some cranberries and a generous splash of almond extract. This is going into the "cookie file" for sure! Thanks Giada!

    These were the first cookies I've ever made from scratch!!! It was so easy and it came out delicious! My boyfriend and roomates loved it, I even tried it with other fruits like cranberrys and still delicious. I didn't have ameretto icing so i just used spiced rum in one batch and vanilla extract in the other and still wonderul.. I've tried this reciepe in so many different ways and they always come out great. These are now my special occasion cookies cause there so good it feels like a sin to have them all the time

    Dearest Giada, I love your cooking shows, your recipes are always clean, simple and easy to make. I usually make 8 to 10 varieties of cookies in christmas to give away for present to my friends. This year I tried your Apricot, Nuts Cookies with the Amaretto Glaze, and they are definitely a keeper. Please keep sharing with our your cooking skills, tips, and wonderful variety of recepies, they are all sensationl and so practical. With great admiration, Maribel from Costa Rica.

    I selected this cookie receipe because of its high ratings, and that it was different from the others I tried. It sounded european with the fruits and nuts, but I wasn't too pleased with the final results. The flavor of the apricot's didn't come through the cookie dough and I didn't care for the frosting. My husband didn't want me to bake these again.

    simple to make, great taste, and I received rave reviews from everyone who tried them. They are really great, and not too sweet--they are just perfect.

    A very easy, delicious cookie. All the ingredients blend together to make an awesome bit of heaven. Don't change anything, just make it the way it is meant to be. The amerato icing was the final indulgance and did so much justice to the end result. I piled the icing into a small plastic ziplock, cut of the end and swirled the icing on top. The cookie makes a great presentation and kids love them. They are on my top four Christmas cookie list. Thanks Giada!

    These are so delicious. I love the apricots in them but next time I'm going to try them with some dried cranberries. Very good cookie and super easy to make.
