These cookies were delicious - so buttery and the hint of lemon made them even better. I took them on a picnic and got rave reviews. I also found them easy to make. One tip - the pine nuts toast quickly; also it would be helpful for the recipe to include instructions for toasting the nuts. I did mine on the stove top in a nonstick pan. Use medium heat and don't turn your back or they'll burn!

Like in the other reviews, I was very disappointed in these cookies. They crumbled as I took them off the cookie sheet and to the touch. There was no way these cookie were able to be rolled in the sugar. The cookies were very grainy and tasted like lemon flavored saw dust... very disappointing.
I will not be making these cookis in the future unless the recipe is updated... especially with the cost of the pine nuts.

There is definitely something missing/wrong with this recipe. I just made it - except I added one egg b/c what I figured it needed an egg, and the cookies still fell apart and didn't taste right. Maybe take out the cornmeal? I don't recommend trying this, it's a waste of ingredients.

Was it the recipe, or was it me? The cookies were tasty, but I couldn't take them to a party as I had intended. They would have left a crumbly mess on my host's floor.

I have to agree with all the other bad reviews on this recipe. How can the cornmeal, flour and pine nut mixture hold together without eggs?

Is there an email address so we can contact the Food Network? There has to be something missing from the recipe.

There was only one four star review when I decided to try these cookies. Being a huge fan of Giada's recipes, and they ALWAYS turn out wonderful, I decided to go for it on this one. What a disappointment! They crumbled to crumbs at the slightest touch. I am apparently not the only one with this problem....is there a misprint in the recipe or what? The crumbs had a nice flavor, but I agree they are a bit grainy. All in all, a waste of expensive pine nuts and a bit of my oh so precious time.

I love both the flavor and texture of these cookies. The first one crumbled when I tried to roll it in the sugar, so I let the rest cool on the baking sheet, then just sprinkled the sugar on top.

The cookies crumbled even at the slightest touch. I couldn't roll them in the powdered sugar they were so delicate. So, I managed to get them off the sheet and onto a plate to completely cool. Even then, they were very crumbly. The taste was just OK, a little grainy for me. Although I added more lemon zest to boost the lemon flavor.

I'm an avid fan of Giada's and have had lots of success from her recipes. I watched her make these cookies on the show. She made it look so easy! So I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies weren't firm, even after cooling a bit from the oven. They came out crumbly to the touch, and fell apart when I tried to dust them with the confectioner's sugar. I likely won't be repeating this one.
