I didn't have cream of tartar, so I left it out and added 1 tsp of baking powder, 1 tsp of almond extract and pecans instead of walnuts. They baked for 15 minutes and were still pale but cooked through. They were great - especially with frosting.

These are great cookies. My son has a peanut allergy, so we were looking for a cookie recipe similar to the peanut butter kiss cookies. I made them into balls, rolled them in sugar and when they came out of the oven put a hershey kiss into them. They are the BEST substiute we have found. They are tasty frosted too!

Great drop cookie! I normally try to make some substitutions to try to put a little good in our goodies. I used 1 cup whole wheat flour and the rest unbleached flour. I substituted trubinado sugar for the white sugar. I substituted cashews for the walnuts, which we added directly to the dough. The kids liked that the cookies do not spread much while cooking, so many can be cooked at one time. (Which also allows for the cooling of many at one time and thus the eating of many. LOL!) We did not roll the cookies in nuts or sugar, for the first batch because we forgot. We were glad we did. These have a shortbread consistency without being too sweet. They freeze well too.

My family loved these cookies! I made them with freshly ground whole wheat flour and dehydrated cane sugar. I rolled some of them in walnuts and some in cinammon sugar. They came out wonderfully, even after freezing the cookie dough in little balls and cookie right out of the freezer. We'll be making these again. I might add another 1/4 cup flour to give them a little more firmness.

Delicious! I used pecans instead, sprinkled sugar on the tops and then baked 7 min on bottom rack / 3 minutes on top rack - taste was wonderful!!! Texture was perfect too - I was searching for something just a *tad* chewier than Pepperidge Farm's Homestyle Sugar Cookies and this was it! ***These do spread as they bake so be sure be sure to use smaller size drops....

These were wonderful! I did omit the nuts.(My boys have never liked nuts.) The cookies were nice and crispy but not hard.

These cookies were pretty good, but the on the day we baked them they were kind of hard, although they weren't overbaked. After keeping them in an airtight container overnight though, they were much softer and tastier! I rated these a two for quickness because I was teaching a friend to bake cookies, and although the prep time said twenty minutes, it took us over an hour. The taste of these cookies is quite good, but not excellent. I enjoyed these cookies, but would probably not make them again if I found a better recipe.

This is one of the best sugar cookies I've ever made. This is definitely a keeper. It's crispy but yet not hard, it's tasty but not overwhelmingly sweet... It's perfect!

I baked these cookies last night. Everyone just raved on them and my husband loved them. Thank You for a great cookie recipe. They have a very unique Sugar Cookie taste with nuts. I did sprinkle sugar over the tops of mine after I had criss-crossed them with a fork. Very delicious.

I recently made these cookies for my son's fundraiser at school. They are excellent cookies that melt in your mouth and leave everyone wanting more! My 3 yr old daughter was able to help make these cookies which she and I both enjoy.
