Good healthier cookie Made these cookies last night after leaving the dough in the freezer over night. I halved the recipe because it just seemed like way too many cookies for me also used almonds instead (personal preference). Other than that made as written and they were super easy and very good.
I made these cookies because they were low calorie and made with healthy ingredients. They are a thin crisp refrigerator type cookie. I really liked the flavor and the crunchy texture. I would make these again.
I have made these cookies many times. And we all love them. Never have had a big problem with sticky dough. Use a little flour if necessary. I do use parchment paper on cookie sheets but they don't stick to that either. I use organic sugar and flour making it a little bit healthier
HUGE disappointment! I carefully left the logs in the freezer well over 4 hours. Followed recipe exactly but for doubling to make 4 logs/8 dozen cookies for student group at the university. I will not ever make these again regardless how wonderful the house smells as they are baking because working with the dough - and as little as I needed to work with it since they are slice-and-bake - is just a horrid sloppy sticky mess. I even dusted my hands with flour in order to try to fight that. a BIG shame Pros: smell lovely baking Cons: sticky gooey mess
Any tricks on this recipe? I tried it tonight but didn't have much luck. The dough was so sticky and hard to work with. I let the logs sit for well over an hour in the freezer but when it came to cutting the cookies everything just squeezed together. For one batch I tried to flatten the cookies out again; the second batch I rolled the dough into balls rolled in the sugar/cinnamon mixture then placed the balls on the baking sheet. Both batches came out with the cookies stuck to the sheet. I ended up having to trash everything and soak the pans to get off the cookies. I'm still learning the tricks to baking so any hints/tips would be appreciated!
Easy and Tasty! Made one batch and had no problems...left dough in freezer overnight. About to make another today...good recipe and very easy. Pros: Healthier so don't feel as guilty eating cookies. Cons: None
Smell good but what a huge sticky mess! Making a double batch for student group at the university. Granted 20-year-old aren't necessarily expected to have a highly-developed palate but I thought these sounded like they'd be a really nice flavor and with the slice-and-bake aspect thought it'd be a quick-and-easy for the chef as well. Wow! I have to wipe my hands constantly - and I am even using a bit of flour dusting. This is just too yucky for me. I hope they are liked -- they do smell lovely baking! -- but I will never-ever-ever be making them again! Cons: sticky gooey
