Kids and I made these, delicious! we omited the nuts because they don't like nuts and we substititued some oatmeal to keep the dough stiff, they didn't stay round like a snowball but they got eaten SO fast. Fun and tastey recipe we will make again!

I love these cookies! I know them as an old family tradition. I was given the exact recipe by my mother-in-law, who received it from her grandmother. I was pleasantly surprised to see it on All Recipes. These are a Christmas tradition for us, and I look forward to them every year.

I can sum these up in one word- YUM-O! Will definitely make these again. I didn't chill them before rolling the first batch, but I did pop it in the fridge in between batches.

A tasty little cookie. It is more like a shortbread..not too sweet and on the dryer side.Wonderful with a glass of milk or some hot cocoa. I followed the directions to a tee, and I had good results. We enjoyed them and I will make them again.

These cookies were dry and bitter. I think there wasnt enough sugar to sweeten all of the cocoa it calls for. 20 minutes is too long to cook them too.

These were the worst! I followed the recipe to a tee, but they were flavorless and very dry. I crumbled up the whole batch and will try to use them for a pie crust.

Not too chocolaty, not too sweet. This little cookie will be a Christmas tradition at our house.

These did come out more like a shortbread but that's why I liked them. They weren't too sweet and held together well. I recommend this one if you like chocolate cookies that aren't overwhelmingly sweet.

This is a good little cookie. True, it's not as sweet as others on a cookie tray, but that's what we like about it!

This was an OK cookie. Not really very chocolatey and a bit dry. The powdered sugar was a nice touch - added a bit of sweetness - but I found it to be dry and not too impressive. My family didn't really like them either. They gobbled up the other cookies first and these were left in the dish for quite a while.

I didn't like these cookies at all. The dough was very crumby, did not come together well, even with refrigeration. They didn't come out very sweet and fell apart really quickly. I thought about taking them to a Christmas party the next day but they were already stale, even though I kept them in an airtight container. I ended up throwing all the cookies out. Overall, a total disaster.

Delicious! A big hit at my cookie exchange. Pretty, with a chocolate shortbread flavor--rich but not too sweet. I just dusted them with powdered sugar instead of rolling them--it was easier and just as attractive, I think. Don't know why dough has to be refrigerated first--I skipped this step with one batch and the turned out just fine. Highly recommended!
