I thought that they were really good. They were not to bad to make either. And trust me because this is coming from an eighteen year old who just started to bake and really liked it!<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"01\/03\/2012 15:26","GUID":"baec536d7ef44daf8bac96ae0bb56cdc","MemberId":6436070,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Schimerowski","SubmittedDate":"01\/03\/2012 15:26"},{"Comment":"
I have been making this Christmas cookie every year since it first came out many issues ago. I find if I freeze them it makes the bottom a bit softer and the flavours combine better.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"12\/17\/2010 13:54","GUID":"9CB7356B2E524B7BA0080297B25AACE1","MemberId":2012428,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"ndwd","SubmittedDate":"12\/18\/2011 13:22"},{"Comment":"

I have been making these cookies for over 10 years and everyone loves them. They are always requested every Christmas. I double the recipe. They freeze great and taste even better after they have been frozen and thawed<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"12\/17\/2010 13:54","GUID":"9CB7356B2E524B7BA0080297B25AACE1","MemberId":2012428,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"ndwd","SubmittedDate":"12\/17\/2010 13:54"},{"Comment":"
