Everyone in my family liked these. They look pretty and taste good. I think they were a little more time consuming than noted. I would definitely make them again.<\/p>","CommentId":6,"DateRated":"02\/08\/2017 08:43","GUID":"eaee2aa98d084181a845586a2f556788","MemberId":7201627,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"Nonniebakes","SubmittedDate":"02\/08\/2017 08:43"},{"Comment":"
Very good taste. Did not get 11 dozen with slicing. Will make again!<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"01\/02\/2016 12:35","GUID":"2fcbfd4797be403e81cb273727be9396","MemberId":7680167,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"dibigmama","SubmittedDate":"01\/02\/2016 12:35"},{"Comment":"
Only made about 3 dozen cookies. I cut mine in half, maybe I should have cut in thirds. I refrigerated my dough overnight, but the cookies spread. Taste good but I don't like how they look. I think I'll drizzle them with white chocolate.<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"12\/11\/2015 20:40","GUID":"888fc307013c4915b257cc98396329d2","MemberId":6902174,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"byoung229","SubmittedDate":"12\/11\/2015 20:40"},{"Comment":"
These are my favorite cookies!! So delicious and pretty on a cookie tray. Sometimes I use cherry extract instead of the almond.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"12\/11\/2015 17:21","GUID":"1ad5f22cdd004ac99612088e8d38042f","MemberId":4256810,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"tbock","SubmittedDate":"12\/11\/2015 17:21"},{"Comment":"
Great cookies. You have to cut them very thin to get the stated amount. I added peppermint flavoring to the red and Fruity Pebbles to the white to make Christmas cookies.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"","GUID":"157ca924761a4f12abc7ab1193e511d2","MemberId":7488745,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"MNoga","SubmittedDate":"12\/12\/2013 09:39"},{"Comment":"
These cookies are great when you need a lot of cookies and don't have much time. They are easy, and tasty. I sometimes add a little raspberry or strawberry extract along with the red food coloring for a different taste<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"","GUID":"36a645d1b21f4b92ae6f66daed226afe","MemberId":2581969,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"shawnba","SubmittedDate":"12\/09\/2013 18:47"},{"Comment":"

It just occurred to me, after looking at the picture on this page, that the chilled dough might have been cut lengthwise in thirds, or even fourths, hence the yield of 12 dozen. I cut it in half and my cookies ended up much larger than those pictured.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"12\/17\/2010 20:40","GUID":"E6A0707C05C94BD1A4D87CFFC54C5455","MemberId":985301,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Aquarelle","SubmittedDate":"12\/20\/2010 20:05"},{"Comment":"
I didn't get anywhere near 12 dozen cookies from this recipe either, but they're very easy to make and very good. There's a very similar recipe on this site that calls for flaked coconut instead of walnuts in the middle layer of dough, and for dipping the ends of the baked cookies into melted chocolate tempered with a little shortening. I'm going to make these again this week (I prefer walnuts to coconut) but I'm going to try the chocolate-dipping as well.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"12\/17\/2010 20:40","GUID":"E6A0707C05C94BD1A4D87CFFC54C5455","MemberId":985301,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Aquarelle","SubmittedDate":"12\/17\/2010 20:40"},{"Comment":"
I make this at Christmas to add to my trays and just made them for an engagement party and everyone raved about them. They are tasty and easy....I did substitute cherry flavoring for the almond extract in the pink part, so you can mix this up a little!<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"07\/26\/2010 13:05","GUID":"2dda3f377b184e2da2202d9209ecab5b","MemberId":984732,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"donnawolf","SubmittedDate":"07\/26\/2010 13:05"},{"Comment":"
This is a good cookie and is fun to make and eat. It should not be baked until it is brown as then you loose the prettiness of the colors. I was curious about how a standard loaf pan of dough could yield 12 dozen cookies. It doesn't. The recipe makes 4 dozen cookies, cut according to the instructions.<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"07\/17\/2010 19:24","GUID":"3C4666FE676A49BEA79602DA63847209","MemberId":4373972,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"BW2330","SubmittedDate":"07\/17\/2010 19:24"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"12\/04\/2009 23:49","GUID":"807e68c46443497da2fcdbefc0500bf9","MemberId":4646335,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"robinccnh","SubmittedDate":"12\/04\/2009 23:49"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":18,"DateRated":"11\/18\/2008 16:37","GUID":"8D10F9AA7DEF46A88DA5C4AC77B466D1","MemberId":1045242,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"mystique054","SubmittedDate":"11\/18\/2008 16:37"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"12\/02\/2007 17:47","GUID":"91281E8A9B17494FB7E8A27C7F074B11","MemberId":1038857,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"crafticook","SubmittedDate":"12\/02\/2007 17:47"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":309177,"name":"Recipes","slug":"recipes","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":309112,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Browse Taste Recipes recipes by course, cooking style, cuisine, ingredient, holiday and more categories to find a new family-favorite recipe.","parent":0,"count":51278,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/"},{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
