Substitute vegan margarine (Earth Balance is good) and vegan chocolate chips and these make some tasty vegan cookies.

Fantastic recipe! I can't tell you what my husband said - suffice it to say he loved them. I cooked them about 4 minutes longer until I saw the bottoms begin to brown a bit and let them cool sufficiently and had very little problem with breakage. Thanks!

Easy, quick, and got devoured in an instant. I'm glad I tried one of these BEFORE I left home, because I came back with an empty plate! Tons of compliments.

Amazing cookie! I forgot to add the mini chips into the first batch, but both with and without them, they're delicious. The only problem I had with them is that more than half the batch broke while I was dipping them. I waited until they cooled to take off cookie sheet as called for, but many broke.. maybe that's a positive thing because I had to eat all of those ones!

It's true! I made this for a holiday cookie exhange and won both "best use of chocolate" and the grand daddy award for "best over all cookie". It pleased both the adult and children judges. I dipped the ends 3 different ways...assuring to garner the votes of the various judges. Ha! I dipped some in just plain chocolate on both ends, some in chocolate with nuts and the remainder in chocolate then in red and white non pareil balls which made for a festive, eye catching cookie. The recipe is good the way it is but it is a fairly soft dough because of the shortbread texture so be cautious. The chocolate dip using shortening was perfect and melted nicely in the microwave. Be sure to try this recipe and make sure you have the red and white non pareils to top it off. It's a winner!

These are one of our family favorite cookies of all time! These should be called by their proper name, however. They are called "Jane Flanagan Cookies".

My mom used to make something similar every Christmas. I followed this recipe exactly and they turned out great. I will be making these again.

very pretty and tasty. Not as nice as a traditional shortbread recipe and a wee bit drier but still good and will make again. Did not add the chocolate chips as would overpower the cookie. I did roll them out quite petite and found dipping the logs in chocolate at either end and then in crushed pecans was enough added sweetness.
