Toasted the pine nuts and omitted the avocado. Dee-lish!

I just finished making these cookies. Fantastic recipe. I used orange juice instead of water. There's no need to roll into balls or get your hands dirty. Once mixed, put the mixture in the fridge for about 10 minute. Put some granulated sugar in a shallow bowl. Drop by teaspoonfuls into the sugar and roll. Then place on a cookie sheet and slightly flatten when the bottom of a cup. 9 minutes in the oven and they're perfect.

I've been making this now for the past 4 or 5 years for Christmas dinner. My family won't accept anything else. I definitely cook the meat longer, until the meat thermometer reaches about 160. Just double the time indicated, a little less. It'll come out perfect - just a little pink in the middle still but not dripping blood red. Pan sear the meat a little longer than what the recipe calls for. I serve this dish with roasted potatoes with fresh rosemary and pan fried green beens with roasted pinenuts. Fresh rolls top off the meal. It's a keeper!
