Delicious But I had trouble with the dough, it was very crumbly so I pressed the cookies out into my hand.

This is my second time making these. First time I cursed my way through - the creators WAY understated how long it would take to prepare these (neglected to mention the 8 hours the dough needed to stay in the fridge); I was frustrated by how difficult the dough was to work with (so soft that I couldn't get it to come off the counter after I had rolled it (with difficulty) to 1\/8\" thick; I was annoyed by how many steps were involved; and that I only got about half the cookies promised. I swore I'd never make them again. AND THEN I TASTED THEM! I couldn't stop thinking about them days after because they were just that good. So I tried them again. Still so much trouble with the dough. But I stumbled on a happy accident that might make life easier in the future. With the last bit of remaining dough still needing to be rolled out, I put it in between two pieces of plastic wrap and rolled it to 1\/8\" thick before putting it in the freezer for a few minutes to firm it up a bit before cutting out the last cookies. This worked amazingly well. The dough was not so firm that it was difficult to cut through, but firm enough that it didn't stick to the plastic wrap and yet still kept its shape. I was able to easily peel them off the wrap and transfer them to the cookie sheet. Total game changer for me! 5 out of 5 for flavor; 3 out of 5 for ease in making. Might change that after the next time with the plastic wrap trick.<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2024-04-26","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Lindsay193"},"reviewBody":"
Love this recipe!!! Made them many times. Only downside it they take quite a lot of time with all the freezing\/ assembly. But it makes a HUGE batch so it's worth it. I use a set of circle cookie cutters for the cookies and a slightly smaller one for the fondant. I also use waaay more chocolate drizzle (put a dot under the fondant to help it stay put)<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2017-12-10","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"LindaCloutier"},"reviewBody":"These are soooo good!
