Excellent cookies, I did used chopped pecans instead of walnuts, plus sugar sprinkle for the tops prior to baking and bake one pan at a time for better results!

These are addictive. I halved the recipe and followed it exactly. I was a little worried at first, as the dough is very oily before baking. The final product, though, is crispy outside, chewy inside. I chopped my walnuts very finely. I also made some as drop cookies and others rolled in sugar (colored) as stated in the description. This worked very well without chilling the dough. I used my smallest cookie scoop which holds about a heaping teaspoon. My half batch of dough made 72 cookies that baked in 12 minutes. I was expecting 30. Thanks for a keeper!

I'd give it more stars if I could. Very nice, tasty cookie. Almost on the delicate side & very crispy. Maybe I made them too thin, but we just loved them. One problem, I had lots of dough, so I thought I'd freeze some to make for later. I took it out this morning to thaw & while trying to shape the cookies, the dough kept coming apart. However, I did get them shaped & baked. Made them a little thicker this time & just as good as the first batch. It's a keeper.

This was a pretty good cookie! It was a little too crumbly for my liking, but the taste was almost exactly like a store bought sugar cookie. Next time I will probably try frosting or maybe a jam thumbprint to spice it up.

I used Lemon extract and my cookies sell like no others at school bake sales. They come out light and crispy. I think my kids make up reasons for me to bake cookies for their classes.

I was looking for a cookie to use as a base for matcha green tea cookies. These cookies are good, but not quite 'crispy' in the way one generally thinks of cookies as being crispy. They came out a bit sandy for me, as some other reviewers have mentioned. Relatively easy to put together and I got 48 cookies halving the recipe.

Very tasty with a nice dry crumb. I used almonds instead of walnuts because that's all I had in the cupboard. Next time I want to try it with pecans. I took a few and dipped half in melted chocolate. They disappeared quickly!

For a simple sugar cookie recipe, this did the trick. However, for my tastes, I wanted a little more so I made the "Cinnamon Bun Icing" recipe from this site and spread it on top of the cooled sugar cookies. Then I chopped up one hersheys milk chocolate bar in my processer and sprinkled a generous portion on top of the icing. My husband who doesnt even like cheesecake (which is what the icing tastes like) gobbled them up. When I brought these to a baby shower, everyone raved! By adding these tips, these cookies were fabulous.

crisyp, crunchy, like a pecan sandy at the grocery store, absolutely the best cookie! I will make these again and again. I put them on my holiday trays that I take to my neighbors, they called me for the recipe. Imagine their surprise when I told them I found it on the internet!
