Delicious in flavor, but tough and dry (about as dry as a biscotti with an unpleasant snap to it unless you tweak the recipe. I decreased the amount of flour by two tablespoons, and I rolled the cookies in confectioner's sugar twice, not once, for the best appearance and sweetness. I rolled the cookies once after 5 minutes of cooling as the recipe said, set them aside on a rack for an hour until the cookies are totally cool, and then rolled them again. Otherwise, the confectioner's sugar coating will not look white and powdery as it does in the photos. The moisture in the cookies turns the coating into a semi-icing texture and not as pretty.

These are even tastier than the ones I remember from childhood. Had no trouble finding the hazelnuts. They were a little overdone for me going to 25 minutes & brown on the bottom. Will try again and pull them sooner - when bottoms are tan, not brown. But, delicious and easy!

These were so easy to make. I am not an avid baker - today was the first time in 4 years, and these came out perfectly. They are so good if you do in-fact like nuts. I think the people that suggested they were dry should cook them less or make them a tad bigger. I didn't find these dry at all. So delicious with tea or coffee!

OMG! I just baked these cookies for the first time and took them to my company Christmas Party. They didn't last long and everyone loved them. These are officially my new favorite cookies. They were easy to make and SOOOOOO yummy!

I made them with walnuts instead of hazelnuts & they turned out great (and the toasted walnuts smelled wonderful! My husband & I love shortbread cookies, so these were right up our alley. As long as you roll them in the sugar twice, they stay nice & powdery.

I threw hazelnuts from the grocery store directly into this recipe. I'm not sure if I was supposed to toast them and chop them up more finely. In any event, the cookies are good. They're a little more on the country side, and I was expecting them to be chewy, which is why I gave this recipe 3 stars. I'm also not convinced the powdered sugar is going to stay on them.

I made this cookies and they were delicious. Simple to make, but oh so tasty, when you bite into the cookie, it crumbles and dissolves in your mouth. Party for your taste buds, they were very good. Thank you - thank you!
I plan to make them with amaretto extract and almonds, I'm sure they will turn out great!

We love these cookies. They were dry, but that's the point of a tea cookie, so I expected it. They were very crumbly, just like a shortbread-type cookie should be. I did not roll them in the powdered sugar, though. Instead, I dipped half of each cookie in melted dark chocolate. That was certainly a tasty addition! I plan on making these again for Christmas Eve.

Yep, I substituted pecans too. The first time, I tried to prepare only half a recipe. The dough was totally dry but a bit of cold water brought it all together. The cookies were great. The next time, I made the full recipe with walnuts. Worked perfectly. They are drier than other cookies, so have your tea, milk, coffee, etc ready.
