Recipe was quick and easy. I preheated my crock pot while I cooked the ground beef. I used 2 lbs of beef and left all the other ingredients the same. I have a large oval crock so I used 10 large tortillas quartered but I took them straight from the freezer and quarted them with a sharp knife and they sliced through easily.I did use double layers of tortillas. tortillas were not mushy this way and meal was cooked through and ready in 1 hr. 45 min. I put green onion, black olives and diced tomatos on the top layer for presentation before cooking. I thought the taste was just okay but the hubby kept commenting throughout dinner at how much he liked it. I will make ths again because of the ease and quick prep time.

The origional Austrian recipe states to roll the cookies into beaten egg whites before rolling in the nuts. I substituted almond extract for the vanilla and also used raspberry jam. The dough like others, was very dry and crumbly even after whipping the butter well. add 1 TBS milk at a time until you get the right consistancy. (I added 2 TBS of milk) and that did the trick. Dough was not sticky and easy to work with. these cookies are meant to be about "bite sized".
