very delicious and authentic tasting recipe. I suggest using greek yogurt instead of trying to substitute it with regular plain yogurt to get a creamier and less watery texture. i grated 1 cucumber and strained it very well through a paper towel. i just put the it in the paper towel and squeezed all the liquid out and dumped the shredded cucumber with the sauce and it came out GREAT. i liked having the subtle taste of cucumber instead of chunks of it. =) very delicious!

Used margarine instead of shortening, dried cranberries, and chilled in the fridge over night. They came out perfect! Chilling is the key. I didn't change any of the measurements except for a bit more orange zest =). These are hard to mess up and they're soooo good!

These are the best ever!Rave reviews every time. Also a great arm workout mixing the dough =D. I omited the nuts since they were a bit pricey. Had I used nuts I would use PECANS. I also added 1/2 tsp more vanilla, 1/2 tsp more of baking soda and 1/4 tsp of cinnamon. I shaped into 1 inch thick balls with my (clean) hands and they formed into the perfectly shaped round cookies. Helps to bake on parchmant paper for even browning and no burnt bottoms. Also I suggest using butter instead of margarine for the flavor.
