Great cookies. Make sure you handle with care when dipping in chocolate because they break easily.

These are one of my favorite cookies to give at Christmas time. They are so delicate and look so decorative vs. plain old round cookies. Very yummy!!

i would like to have given 5stars, but found we needed to add a splash of milk to dough to get logs to hold shape. no other problems, recipe was easy and delicious. my mother gives 5stars but she didn't bake them, just ate them. i will absolutely make these again and especially for parties and events. a very good recipe!

Excellent, excellent recipe. The cookies are buttery and crisp. I modified it a bit by adding 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and white and dark chocolate chips. My only concern is that the log shaped cookies spread a little more than I desired. This made dipping the cookies impossible, but they are just as good with a chocolate drizzle. I will definitely use this recipe again!

Excellent cookies, very easy to make. Use high quality ingredients and you'll have amazing shortbread. I rolled mine in chopped almonds instead of walnuts and they were very good. I'll definitely use this recipe again.

I've been trying to make a good shortbread cookie for my New Zealand guy and this wasn't it. Dough had to be refrigerated every 9 cookies (so that they were "rollable"). I thought they were kind of bland. This was definitely not my favorite shortbread cookie recipe.

Something apparently went awry. My bars were so crumbly, I couldn't pick them up. I tried to dip a portion of one and the weight of the chocolate tore it apart right over the double boiler.

I just got back from Maui and brought some chocolate coconut covered macadamia nuts. Chopped these up and mixed them in instead of chocolate chips. Dipped in melted milk chocolate and rolled in coconut! I added 2 tbsp of brown sugar, upped the vanilla and threw in a pinch of salt. They were to die for! People at work told me they were the best cookies ever!

Wasn't impressed, ended up throwing them away. They had a very strange texture.

I decided no to make logs -- just regular shaped cookies and I only had regular sized chocolate chips so I just chopped them up a bit and they were fine. I skipped the whole dipping step. The entire family LOVED them. They melted in your mouth. This one will definately go in my recipe box!

I thought the cookies were just ok: abit bland and not tasting like any shortbread I had before. I would have given them 3 stars if it wasn't for the chocolate/nuts dipping. I dipped half of the batch in chopped pecans and the other half in caramel chips: good cookies but nothing out of this world.

I was lazy (and running out of chocolate chips) so I altered this recipe a bit. :) I shaped the dough into small balls which I flattened with a glass dipped in icing sugar. I also did not dip the cookies in chocolate or sprinkle them with nuts. But the cookies, without being dipped or nutted, were still really good! I used regular-size semi-sweet chocolate chips and beat them up in the Magic Bullet for a bit, so there were yummy chocolate specs as well as chips all through the cookies! My daughter liked these, thank you so much for sharing.

First, let me say that the end result is very tasty. I do not like overly sweet cookies, so these are perfect for me. I had a horrible cooking day, though. First, the dough was too delicate and sticky to roll into nice logs. Added about 1/4 cup flour. Too floury, so I added a little more sugar and another tsp. of vanilla. The dough was finally manageable and tasty. I still couldn't get pretty rolls out of them, so I made flattened rounds, about the size of vanilla wafers. I got 49 cookies of that size out of my batch. (Baked at 325 degrees for 10-11 minutes. Texture was perfect.) I half-dipped the cookies and tried to drizzle white chocolate on top. I must have a bad case of Christmas nerves, because even that went wrong. (I'm an artist and it HAD to be perfect.) So, even though I was very frustrated at the end, the cookies themselves are attractive and very good. I'll try making them again after the holidays. I'm sure I'll do better next time.

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.

Oh wow these were awesome...the cookie part is fantastic and melts in your mouth, and the chocolate and nuts (I used pecans) on the one end just make this cookie perfect. There's nothing that could make it better. They look SO pretty and they taste just incredible...a new cookie cookie staple at my place.
