not great!
It was great
wonderful!
i love this recipe! easy to make and a very good treat even without the nuts. A definite *thumps up*.
I have been baking for several years now. I have tried many chocolate chip recipes. This one is outrageous!. It is similar to bakery butter cookies. The flavor is wonderful, texture is light yet solid enough to hold chips. Easy to prepare, and soooo very good. Thank you Rhonda.. Sha1117.
really nice. make smaller.
I really like these. They are easy to make. I like to mix up this recipe with other flavors of extract(usually 2 tsp.)and I like to mix in dark chocolate chips. Instad of making logs I just form them into balls.
This is one of the best cookies I have ever tried. It has become my favorite. I didn't change a thing except to dip them in milk chocolate instead of semi.
This recipe was great! Every time I make them I am asked for the recipe. I always have it printed up on recipe cards before I bring the cookies somewhere. I have tried a lot of shortbread recipes and this is the best so far, definatly a keeper! Thanks
I'd give it more Stars if I could! These were by far the BEST Cookies I have ever made, and far better than store-bought! Just make sure you really wait for them to cool completely before removing them from the Baking Sheet! Also, after dipping the ends in the Chocolate, I sprinkled the Nuts on top rather than rolling the Logs in them. There are so many other Variations of this I must try, there are so many Possibilities! Update: I made another batch last night, but I made them flat and dipped half in melted white Chocolate. Today I made them with dried Cranberries instead of Chocolate Chips and Orange Extract instead of the Vanilla. Then I also added a little Orange Extract in the melted Chocolate! Yum!
I could eat all of these right out of the oven. I put Ghirardelli chips into the batter and they turned out sooooo good!!
These cookies were great! I made them for a cookie exchange and again the next day for my family cookie bake day. My husband absolutely loved these. Very tasty, not over sweet and they look very appetizing as well!!
These were GREAT! I don't know why everyone has problems with them falling apart, my only suggestion would be to cook them until they are starting to brown ( just slightly) and let them COOL all the way before dipping. I had cub scouts make these they were alot of fun!
I've made these cookies for years now using this recipe. Everyone at work constantly asks me to bring these in for the holidays. I do not change a thing and everyone says how awesome they are. Luv this recipe!!
drizzle with chocolate...that's the way to go. Then sprinkle with nuts
Nice recipe. Will definitely use again. I melted the left over chips and mixed a little vegetable oil in, and drizzled it on top then threw some finely chopped pecans on top. They look nice, but as another reviewer said- "when they say shortening, they mean shortening". Still - I am happy with how they came out - yes a little dry, but they are shortbread, which has a different consistency than regular chocolate chip cookies. I will be saving this recipe.
These cookies are delicious! The walnut toppings are great, but if you are looking for something different, drizzle white chocolate over the semi-sweet for a very pretty treat. Rhonda, thanks for a great recipe!
Delicious, delicious, delicious! Plus they look very impressive. Be careful not to bake them too long, once they are too brown they completely lose their taste and consistency.
Wow did these ever take a while to get down, but oh so worth it. I didn't know how thick to make the 2.5 inch "logs" and so there was some muddling around - finally realized I only had like 29 rolls, so had to go back and re-roll the logs! Baking them was just fine - no problem - they were slightly brown and I let them cool and they were nice and crisp - no trouble with breakage at all. The problem came with dipping - I'm not used to doing this and it took some commitment to get it just so. I confess my first batch I just dipped one side. The other problem was my walnut pieces were too big out of the bag - and when I went to pulse them in the food processor, they then became too small. This time (tomorrow) I'm going to hit them with a mallet and try to get them just right! To make a long story longer, hubby ate one cookie and promptly asked me to make a batch for his work!!! He has NEVER asked me to do such a thing in all our years together (15). Tomorrow I'm going to use half chocolate dipping ends and half peanut butter for dipping. Yumillee!!!!
I made these for my christmas cookie tins and was very pleased with the end result. Melt in your mouth kind of cookie with good texture. I also added skor baking chips along with the mini chocolate chips. Sooo rich!! I omitted the nuts at the end and just left them with the plain chocolate dip.
Very simple I used my food processor and it blended quick. easiest prettiest shortbread cookies.
I expected great things based on the reviews. These are good, but not great. They make a great presentation, but their flavor is kind of dull.
These are amazing! Melt in your mouth. The cookie itself was incredibly easy to make; dipping in the chocolate and nuts was a little messy, but well worth the work and cleanup. I brought 100 of these to work and they were gone in no time. Now one of my favorites.
Well, apparently I made these rather large, as I had to bake them for 20 minutes. And they didnt' fall apart, except one when I was a tad enthusiastic with the chocolate. But, they worked well enough so perhaps next time I'll roll out the dough then cut into pieces--that might work better for me. Still, very nice cookies. I love shortbread but am not a fan of chocolate so much--I think, however, they are a good addition to my cookie tins. Hubs enjoyed them. Thanks for the recipe.
Great Christmas cookies. I posted a picture.
Really yummy! I used hazelnuts instead of walnuts because I had them on hand. And I just microwaved the chocolate and shortening for dipping because I don't have a double boiler. I definitely did not get 4 dozen cookies out of this recipe though, only 2 dozen.
A new favorite Christmas cookie. Very yummy and looks very nice with other baked goods.
I was concerned reading reviews on breaking, texture, etc. I made them per recipe (included 2 tbls brown sugar) and they were FABULOUS! 10 minutes was perfect, I was able to use a spatula to move them immediately off the cookie sheet with no problems. These are my new favorite cookie!!
I took these cookies to our Church social and they where a huge hit. I added a 1/4 Brown Surgar to the mix and left out the nuts on the dipping end.
My logs melted in the oven. They became flat, what did I do Wrong!
Recipe sounds great, but 1 question. Do you really cook in solid log or do you form dough into log, slice into cookies & then cook? Thanks,
Delicious! I substituted chopped macademia nuts for the chocolate chips and walnuts and used Ghirardelli milk chocolate baking chips for dipping.
