Tasted great, looked ok, but was a bit tricky to roll, despite following the tips on the reviews section.

These cookies are amazing. I made some to take to work and no one belived me that they were home made!!! One thing that I have done is up the amount of Vanilla used. Just seems to work better for me.

I found that theses cookies were quite simple to make, but needed a little more sugar as they were a bit bland. I also cut out the extra 1/3 cup of butter and found that they came out fine without it. The cookies did bake beautifully though, but i had to put some royal icing glaze on them to make up fo the sweetness.

Good recipe! I agree: use 1.5 cups white sugar, no brown. And freezing for one hour rather than chilling for 8 hours is so much faster and JUST as effective. Thank you!

I just finished making a batch of these. I followed the recipe exactly, I only made mine plain and chocolate swirls. I made the chocolate by adding cocoa powder to the other half. It was a little difficult to roll out the dough, I would suggest chilling it for a while first. Otherwise they turned out great. I think they may taste a little better tomorrow, right now they are a little plain and bland tasting. A good cookie with coffee...!

Just made the chocolate version and it was wonderful! I laid off the brown sugar a bit though and rolled the log in red sugar (like Maurice Lenell's) which are my kids favorite! Dough was very soft and pliable to roll. Great recipe!

I had a lot of trouble with this dough as it kept cracking and crumbling when I went to roll it. Mine didn't turn out nearly as pretty as some of the pictures and they aren't really delicious cookies. Not bad, just not quite worth the struggle. I think the appeal is in how pretty they are supposed to be to look at but as I say, mine weren't.

Time consuming as others said, but didn't find it was worth it. Pretty plain and almost unflavored cookies (and I did follow the recipe exactly as written).

I needed a quick and easy recipe to make a LOT of cookies for an annual cookie exchange. These were perfect. Note, however, that you'll need much more food colouring than listed to get a vibrantly-coloured cookie like what's shown in the photo. Also, to keep my cookie-log from settling flat as it chilled, I slit an empty wrapping paper tube lengthwise, wrapped my dough in parchment, and slid it into the tube. Voila: nice round cookies!
