Good cookies overall. I added 1/2c chopped pistachio nuts to increase flavor and this made dough easily shapable w/o any refrigeration. Increased baking time to 15 minutes. Can't use pastry bag when using nuts b/c tip will plug up, voice of experience :-(

I have loved these since I was a little girl, they're a holiday staple at my mom's! She makes the shape by putting them in an tipless pastry/icing bag, and squeezing them out.

These turned out really good for me. Very pretty and Christmasy! I made the recipe exact and rolled teaspoons of it in my hands into fingers. A little messy. Chilling it helps but it's really not difficult. I ended up with about 60 cookies but some were a little large. Wish I'd doubled it! I'll be making more of these before Christmas. They taste wonderful. Thank you for the wonderful recipe!!!

These cookies tasted great, but weren't the easiest to form. Like the other reviewers said, the dough was too sticky to make "fingers" easily. I will probably try to make them into another shape if I make these again.

I shaped the cookies by using a pastry bag with a wide round tip. I can't imagine trying to shape the dough by hand because it is so sticky. I drizzled the chocolate out of a plastic bag with a very tiny cut off the corner. The cookies look really nice, but I'm disappointed that the pistachio flavor is weak. I would have preferred it to be more pronounced. They will look very pretty on a Christmas cookie tray, but with their subtle green color they would also look nice at a shower or other celebration.

These are delicious! They taste like soft sugar cookies with a lighter texture, a little salt, and a pistachio flavor. It is easy to eat a lot of them. I rolled mine into balls and slightly flattened them, then drizzled half with semi-sweet chocolate and half with white chocolate. They were a big hit with the whole family.

Yummy. I made these over the weekend and they turned out beautiful. I let the dough sit in the fridge for 1 hour before working and it was perfect. I rolled a fist full of dough in a long rope and cut 21/2 inch fingers. I also bake all of my cookies on parchment paper so they all turned out just perfect. I did put a small string of chocolate on them but they were just as good without the chocolate. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.

I was surprised also that a few people rated these poorly--I just made 5 different cookies from the Allrecipes Best Cookies book and these were a stand-out favorite at our party. The dough is VERY sticky and difficult to work with, even when cooled as directed--I found that simply wetting my hands with water helped me to achieve a slick little ball easily--this worked out better than fingers because these are so cakey and delicate that they have the potential to break. I also used more than the recommended chocolate--excellent. These also have a hint of a salty flavor which perfects the pistachio flavor. We will put these on our Christmas cookie platter every year from now on!

I'm a little surprised at the either/or reviews for this cookie. I've always found it a great recipe for the Christmas holidays, tasty and easy to make. It's always pretty on the tray -- I chill the dough to make the fingers easier to make and have used both white and dark chocolate.

This recipe was awful! The cookies were completely tasteless and the dough was very difficult to work with. Not worth the time or effort.

These cookies really didn't do anything for me. They were kind of bland and not very pretty. They did not go over well with family members either.

I personally liked the cookie. It wasn't the best thing I have ever put in my mouth but it had a good texture and I thought pretty plate points. I changed it up a bit and took another reviewers advice and used a white chocolate drizzell instead. Then added read candy sprinkles to make it more festive. I found people either really liked the cookie or not at all. One comment was, it looks like playdoh. I will probably make it again, with a few more minor changes. All in all, a good but not "the best" cookie!

These made awesome chocolate chip cookies! I did not like them as written, so I added milk chocolate chips to the soft dough, took 1 Tb of dough and made balls, flattened them, and baked at 350 for 12 min on ungreased nonstick cooky sheets - Voila! Delicious tender choc chip cookies! (would rate as a 5* this way).

These are really excellent. They're moist and delicate but they hold up great for give-aways. We call them "Martian Fingers' at our house and my niece has said she'd never talk to me again if I didn't make them for her every year. So I do. :)

I made these cookies for my husband, and now they are his favorite! He says he can't get enough of them. I also made them for friends, and have had several requests for the recipe! I added a littl green food coloring to give it a little more color. Will definetely make them again, and again.
