We wound up having to use a melon baller and make drop cookies. We still made them into sandwiches. Not as pretty, but still tasty. I will try these again and just roll and slice. Hopefully, they will be easier to make this way.<\/p>","CommentId":4,"DateRated":"11\/24\/2013 19:29","GUID":"12d543f449e94d4aa40275982c4eb10e","MemberId":5784358,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"Staceyhy","SubmittedDate":"11\/24\/2013 19:28"},{"Comment":"
These are a bit of extra work to make, but they're worth it. My boyfriend requests these every Christmas.<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"","GUID":"b32445a407b14405a2d43d985445831f","MemberId":1931014,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"sweepsnut3000","SubmittedDate":"11\/13\/2013 21:02"},{"Comment":"
These cookies are very good. I shared them with friends and family and they were a big hit. I substituted filmores for hazelnuts in one recipe and they were just as good.<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"08\/02\/2011 18:15","GUID":"781573b3bed142fa84174aef6c973f75","MemberId":6057330,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"lisakim","SubmittedDate":"08\/02\/2011 18:20"},{"Comment":"

I am the creator of this recipe. You need to roast the hazelnuts before processing, and the butter should be UNsalted.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"12\/09\/2009 17:17","GUID":"5bb3a27857ba4456a951a040abad06cb","MemberId":2384682,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"CHazelnut","SubmittedDate":"12\/09\/2009 17:17"},{"Comment":"
Have made these cookies twice. Beautiful presentation and worth the effort! I made each cookie to be a 1\/4 inch thickness instead of 1\/8 inch.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"11\/04\/2009 15:30","GUID":"e69ae4009f88445696bf764b46086039","MemberId":1094375,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Charityboo","SubmittedDate":"11\/04\/2009 15:30"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
