Expert Tips

To ensure even baking, bake one sheet of cookies at a time, placing the cookie sheet on the middle rack of the oven.

To toast nuts, heat oven to 350°F. Spread nuts in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown.

Pretty good recipe. The spice was too strong for me but I'm not ready to give up on the recipe yet. I would try them again with some spice experimentation (that sounds weird!)

Made these cookies for a 'Ladies Tea' and they were a huge hit. I have shared this recipe with others, per their request. Gave it an overall 5 rating, even though it is not a quick-fix recipe because it is worth the time invested.

So Yummy! I did not dunk them in the sugar a second time, you could even skip the sugar all together and they are still supper yummy! I did only add 1/4 ts allspice not a big allspice fan, and added 1/8 ts cloves to add more flavor..turned out supper yummy, remind me in texture of russian tea cakes. I'm going to try and re-work that recipe with these spices rather than buying a mix every time I want to make them!
