I made these cookies for my spanish class. I felt like this was a great way to look into another culture. They were very easy to make and fun. It was interesting to find out information about the spanish culture by making these delicious cookies.

I made these cookies and they turned out great. everyone loved them,they were perfect as a going away gift to the bride and groom.I doubled the recipe and made the cookies a bit smaller so they were one bite cookies, less messy that way for party guests.The only problem I had with them was that I had to coat them 3-4 times in powdered sugar since I did as the recipe suggested and powdered them first when slightly warm,so the powdered sugar became doughy like on the cookies, so I recommend letting them cool completely before powdering them in the sugar.

Couldn't be an easier or more delicious cookie, I have made this so many times since the holidays I don't need the recipe. This is my girls favorite cookie that I make. Thanks for sharing this easy recipe.

These cookies ROCK. They were so good and so easy to make. I used cashews instead of almonds because I like them better. Tasted great. I will make these again often.

ok, I made a few changes to suit a craving I've had lately for lemony powdered cookies, this is what I did: followed recipe replacing vanilla extract with lemon extract and also omitted completely the nuts (added a little extra flour instead to attain more 'firmness' to the dough). Small bite sized pieces on the cookie sheet and baked 17 min. Fantastic!! Will definitely make again and again! :)

Thanks for the recipe -- it's just what I was looking for. I wanted a melt-in-your-mouth cookie and to enhance that I used all confectioner's sugar. I used pecans as they are softer and have the flavor I wanted. I toasted the pecans lightly and then chopped them finely. I also added a pinch of salt. I refrigerated overnight. After baking and cooling I coated them liberally with powdered sugar, a lot more than the recipe calls for, and let them sit undisturbed for awhile. That way the sugar sticks. One change I would make next time: They flattened rather than remaining as balls, so biting one causes powdered sugar to fly! I'll make them quite small next time so you can pop a whole one in your mouth.

My husband loved these cookies! We made two batches; one to give away and the other we ate. [oink oink :)] We did not find it necessary to chill the dough. We did as others suggested and use powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar.We used pecans; turned out great.Smaller sized balls seemed to bake better. Thank you for this recipe; we ate a similar cookie at a party last summer and we had been wanting to make some. We are going to make another batch tomorrow. yum yum

I am very unimpressed. I made two batches of batter and let it chill overnight. It was too difficult to actually get the batter from the bowl and shape them, then they turned to liquid butter in the cookie pans. Finally I put them in muffin pans and only half turned out right while the other half turned to . What did "come out" were paper thin, and tasted like . DO NOT TRY THIS RECIPE

This is a recipie that I make for my family and friends every year at Christmas. I make several batches using different extract's, my favorite is peppermint flavor. This year I am going to try lemon and orange extracts, I'll let you know how they tuned out. Seriously, I don't think that you can ever go wrong with any flavor you choose with these cookies.

I am very unimpressed. I definitely should have read more reviews and swapped out the sugar. These cookies are way too dry and not tasty at all and as others have said the confectioners sugar doesn't stick well to them. I will be searching for a better recipe for this cookie.

Split the dough in half. Use food color to make 1/2 red and the other 1/2 green. It makes a fun Christmas display. Suppose you could even dye them blue for the jewish holidays.
