These cookies are delicious! One of my favorites! I also used 1/4 cup brown sugar and 3/4 white sugar and walnuts the first time I made them. The second batch, instead of walnuts I used Heath bits - they turned out great! This will definitely be a regular cookie recipe - it's easy and yummy!
My son is allergic to nuts & eggs, and this cookie was perfect for him (minus the walnuts, of course). Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe!
These were TO DIE FOR. I make 4-5 different cookie recipes every xmas and this one has been by far the best one ever. I used less flour as suggested by other reviewers, formed balls with the cookies, rolled in sprinkles and flattened out on the pan. I am making them again for New Year's. I highly recommend them to anyone who likes cookies!
These are awesome cookies!!! So simple and so tasty, perfect crunch and taste! Thank you for sharing this recipe with us, this one is going to be a keeper for me! : )
This is without a doubt one of the tastiest cookies ever. I read the reviews and decided to try it. It was so easy to put together that if you are looking for a treat to whip up in a hurry this is it. They are wonderful warm from the oven and would make great cookies for an ice cream sandwich desert. I too left out the nuts because my grandkids prefer things plain.
Made this tonight and my husband loved them. I left out the nuts (didn't have any) and added a cinnamon/sugar mix to the tops about half way through baking. Yum!
amazing sandy cookie! had to work them a bit with my hans tough... but they are quite nice
I used red and green glaze on mine to make them festive. The certainly didn't last long at my house!!!!!!!
these cookies were great and so easy to make. I mixed cinnamon with the sugar and substituted pecans for the walnuts.
Awesome cookies!!! Everyone loved them. I will be making these again in the future for sure! Try using 1 tablespoon of vinegar in the batter...makes them taste even better!
Basic cookie recipe. Interesting use of vinegar. Used 3/4 c white sugar and 1/4 c brown sugar. added 1 tsp vanilla extract. Added half bag of choc chips. I think it could use less butter though.
these are great cookies, easy to make and so good to eat...wow..every one loved them
I followed the recipe exactly & unfortunately I do not like the flavor. They have a strange aftertaste. I gave it 3 stars only because my fiance thought they were ok & he ate the batch that I made (but he will eat ANYTHING). I will not make these again.
I was a little disappointed with the way the cookies turned out. Although they tasted great, they were very think cookies. Not big and soft like I had hoped for.
Love this recipe!! I added a dash of nutmeg and a little more flour. All I can say is yum, yum, yum!
Very yummy cookie! :) I also used 3/4 cup of white sugar, and 1/4 cup brown suger. And, I used 1 cup of white flour, and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour. Everyone in our family loved them! And, super easy to make! (Especially, when limited ingredients are in the house ;)
Well, much to my disappointment I give these cookies one star. I followed the recipe and they came out flat and not at all tasty. They are edible, just not light, tasty, and delish. Our weather today has been wet, maybe the humidity affected the outcome of the recipe. I love the idea behind the recipe and I truly am disappointed. I don't feel like wasting my money and time on a recipe that doesn't work. Will not make again.
Since I adjusted for our taste I am giving 4 stars, but with my minor changes they are 5 stars cookies in both taste and ease of making...anything this buttery has got to be good! :) This is what I ended up doing: I left out the nuts since my family wouldn't eat them that way, took the recommendation of using 3/4 white and 1/4 brown sugar and then found after the first batch that they needed something more, probably due to leaving out the nuts, so I sprinkled the hot cookies with cinnamon sugar. Like this they taste very similar to Snickerdoodles...one of my favorites...but way easier. Perfect with a cold glass of milk!
These cookies were absolutely WONDERFUL!! Coming from a pregnant woman, that means a lot! They were easy to make and very satisfying to eat. Both the texture and flavor was perfectly delectable! This recipe is start of a new family tradition.
These cookies are better than sugar cookies--nice and buttery with a perfect blend of soft in the middle and crunchy on the ends. This recipe is especially handy when you're out of eggs but have that sugar cookie craving.
Very easy recipe to follow when you feel like baking but don't have chocolate chips/raisins/oatmeal! Changed I made: I didn't add nuts. Made like 1/5 of the sugar brown instead of white. Didn't have baking soda so used 1.5 tsp baking powder. Added dashes of: Nutmeg Allspice Cinnamon Success!
I guess the taste is okay... but most of the cookies stayed stuck to the pan and would break off when i tried taking them off i tried to do it hot and cold. They turn out supper thin and they are edible but nothing i will crave or try to make again.
These are the easiest and most delicious cookies ever. Made them without nuts and rolled them in cinnamon sugar.
I got this recipe from my grandmother. Whenever I'm in the mood for cookies, these are the ones I make. They practically melt in your mouth! Her recipe calls for pecans rather than walnuts, and includes 1 tsp vanilla.
I really liked the idea of eggless cookies but mine flattened out into thin, sticky, sugary blobs. I'm not sure what I did wrong as I followed the recipe exactly as-is.
WOW!! These cookies were so easy to make and absolutely delicious. Quickly became a family favorite. Followed suggestion of others and used 3/4 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar.
soooooo delicious! my favorite cookie so far! make it all the time...my family begs for them! i would definitely recommend them.
I was excited to try this because of all the reviews... Hmm well.. eating them was a sad story.
Amazing cookies!! Reminds me of pecan sandies (except for they are walnuts) with a more enhanced flavor. These were soo good that I could not stop eating the dough!! The vinegar truly brings out the taste in these cookies. Great way to bake cookies!!
These tasted great, but I was unimpressed with how flat they turned out. They were thinner than pancakes! They were also very greasy. I doubt we'll make them again.
Meh - these cookies were just OK to me. Could have been my own fault for not checking. They seemed to brown quickly. My in-laws devoured them, however. Maybe just to be nice ;)
I was looking for a recipe that didn't require me to leave the house for missing ingredients. Substituted Splenda for the sugar and they were terrific!
Sooooo good! My boyfriend loved these! Be careful not to cook too long, or they become very crispy around the edges.
Excellent recipe!
These weren't quite what I expected them to be. They did not rise very much, but that may have been because I couldn't find my baking soda, so I used baking powder (I don't know what the difference is). I only baked them for 10 minutes because my oven is hotter than most. I can't imagine adding chocolate chips or nuts to these because they spread and flatten so much that it would be difficult to hold any cookie add-ins. Even though they weren't chewy in texture and were somewhat flat, they had a very good taste and were very addictive! I would call these cookie crisps rather than simply cookies.
Great cookie, great flavor. I used pecans and added chocolate chips and a little vanilla. The only negative is that this cookie comes out hard, and you must wait until the cookie cools before you try to remove it from the sheet, otherwise it will crumble. Overall a good recipe.
These are absolutely the best, and very easy to make! I like soft cookies, my husband likes crunchy, so I cooked half about 15 min, and half 19 min, and it worked wonderfully!
This cookie was a HIT at thanksgiving ! Some people say that the dough is crumbly. My dough started out crumbly, but after a few more minutes in my stand mixer, it actually became quite smooth. I added vanilla and cinnamon per other reviewers, and used chopped cranberries and walnuts instead of pecans (though I'm sure pecans would have worked just as well) Only reason it's not 5 stars is that even cutting back the sugar to 3/4 cup, the cookie was a tad too sweet for my taste. I will definitely be making these again. Thanks for sharing !
I made these one night after I used my last egg and accidentally burned the cookies from another recipe. These saved the night! I already had everything on hand and was able to whip them up quickly. I usually like soft and chewy cookies, but I really enjoyed the interesting crispy/crunchy texture these had. They spread quite a bit, but everyone at my game night gobbled them right up!
The first time I made cookies from scratch and it was awesome! Thanks for the recipe.
These are great!! Especially when you have a craving for something sweet and realize you've run out of eggs!! I made the mistake of flattening my raw cookie balls, this made them thin and crisper. I can't wait to make these again! Super simple, fast, and delicious!!!
These cookies were excellent!!!! This is my new cookie dough for sure. I love the fact that they have no eggs, and I don't have to fight the kids to stay out of the dough! I made mine with 1/3 cup brown sugar 2/3 cup white sugar, and also left out the nuts. Instead I added half a bag of white chocolate chips, and they were DELICIOUS!
I work in an after school program. It was a dreary, rainy day & I decided making cookies with the kids would brighten things up. Problem was- we had nothing in the pantry- EXCEPT the ingredients for these cookies! I made a double batch, exactly as per the recipe- except that I had to leave out the nuts b/c some of the kids have allergies. I made the dough before the kids arrived (took all of 2 minutes) and then let the kids form little balls and roll them in colored sprinkles. They were a big hit- even with the parents. Thanks so much for this great recipe! I'm sure it would be delicious with other additions- perhaps cinnamon or vanilla- but even if you have just the bare minimum on hand- this is the cookie for you!
Great quick cookie recipe without eggs! Buttery and crisp a definite keeper! Allow to rest on cookie sheet 1 minute before removing to avoid breakage.
Made these because I was craving cookies and had the ingredients on hand but didn't have the stuff to make some of my other cookie recipes. They were a but disappointing. Kind of bland. Won't make again.
2nd Try: Came back to change my review (three stars to five stars)...I decided to put them in the muffin tin and they turned out to be soft little cups. I filled it with a big marshmallow (close to the end of baking) and it was good. Next time will try it with different filings. 1st Try: This was a nice little quick easy snack to make. The first batch I made was a little too done (15 minutes) so for the second batch I left it in there for about 6-7 minutes (brown edges) and then turned the oven off. Very thin and crispy. I also added chocolate chips to the second batch I made.
Made them exactly by the recipe and the first baking sheet was cooked that way. They were like a thin, walnut sandy. Decided to put a little allspice on the top of the second sheet. Third sheet got topped with some freshly ground nutmeg. Our favorite was the nutmeg but we think it would be better with about a teaspoon of your favorite spice mixed in. Very crumbly but very rich! Easy to make.
Very good and very versitile. I agree with others comments..add a little more flour or they are just way too runny. You can add ANYTHING to these. I made a batch per the directions and they were great..some with a 1/2 tsp of Almond extract and another batch with chocolate chips...You cannot go wrong with this recipe!
I added a couple handfuls of chocolate chips and dried tart cherries. They were a big hit
We love these cookies! I add a teaspoon of vanilla, leave out the nuts and add sprinkles and they're the perfect addition to my daughters preschool lunch since her school is a nut free school.
These were great! Like crisp pecan sandies! I used a GF all purpose blend cup for cup, and that worked fine!
It kept bubbling in the oven , I had followed the instructions very well. I could smell something burning from the start.
SO GOOD! I loooooove these cookies. Every time I make them, I get tons of compliments. They're so easy to make and incredibly delicious!
Perfect tea cookie! Keep the dough chilled. I bumped the vinegar to 1 Tbsp (as recommended)and used salted butter, pecans and raisins.
I had all the ingredients on hand so I tried this recipe. I should have refridgerated the dough before baking so the cookies didn't spread so much. These cookies are perfect with a cup of coffee or tea but they are very rich. I didn't add the nuts but added mini choc chips. These were too sweet for my taste so unless I adjusted the amount of sugar, I'm not sure I'd make these again
What an amazingly delicious recipe thanks for sharing! I made these with my 4 yr old & they were very easy to make. We used margarine due to dairy allergies & they turned out wonderfully at 18 min. These will be hard to keep around the house for long!
I am not sure what that vinegar does, but these are some good cookies. Thin crispy and great flavor. We ate them right up! I had everything on hand in our pantry which is nice for making really quick when needed.
They taste similar to sandies. I added dried cranberries that I diced and soaked in orange juice.
Such unusual ingredients and so delicious in its crunchy, nutty simplicity. Cannot stop eating them!
I like the quickness but it just tastes like something is really missing! Maybe more sugar and flour.
These are tasty, but not the greatest. I added vanilla to get more flavour. They are also a bit too greasy, so I put paper towels on a wire rack while cooling and also in the box where I saved them, and that helped.
This is the first recipe I made from this web site and now I am a huge fan of both the cookie and web site. My husband says they cookies should be called "crack" cookies because they are so addictive!
I didn't have time to go to the store and needed a recipe in a hurry. These were quick and easy to make. The walnuts I chopped rather small, so they were more like sandies. Next time, I will chop the walnuts a little more coarse. No comments except they were very sweet, but they were eaten all up! Thanks for the recipe.
I followed the instructions exactly... Used walnuts coz all of us are nuts about nuts:-) It's the first cookie that I've been so compelled to "test" as each batch came out! They're not your typical sweet cookies, they're crispy and buttery with a hint of sweet at the end... Maybe that's why I'm already addicted!! Will definitely be making again and again, it's also an amazingly easy dough to mix up. Can't stop raving about this...
