Would make this again.
Really liked this cookie alot. This will be part of my cookie list this year for Christmas. The only thing I did differently was add 1/2 tsp of cinnamon since another recipe I that was similar added it.

Baked them for Thanksgiving and they were a hit. I'll probably replace these cookies for Thumbprints as they are easier to make and taste just as good. Will bake some for Christmas, too!

Excellent! Everybody in my family loved them and I get requests for them every Thanksgiving. A great "fall" time cookie. Probably best for mature tastes.

Very good. A nice change from chocolate chip, oatmeal, or peanut butter cookies. Simple to make but I think they are for more mature taste buds. A+.

Would make this again.
My husband loved these. Although not the favorite of everyone else, I would recommend making these sometime just by themselves, not as a Christmas cookie to compete with the others as they probably won't get eaten as quickly. However, they were good and I would like to make them again.
