I used melted chocolate for the center layer instead of unsweetened baking chocolate and almond slivers instead of walnuts. They turned out great and I like the unique shape and color in my cookie trays. Very easy recipe to make a double batch of. I used a square pan instead and cut in four columns then sliced off the cookies. They were a good portion and freezing definitely makes the cutting easy.

I decided to try these to add some color to my christmas cookies. I was kind of disappointed in the flavor or lack there of flavor. When baking these cookies I used semi sweet chocolate. I may try them again with milk chocolate. Great Color. Easy to Make. Needs more flavor.

After spending ALL the time making these cookies I was very excited to taste them. I took a bite which contained each layer in it. I was very disapointed. They aren't sweet- they are bitter. Then I took a bite of each individual layer and realized it was the chocolate layer that was making the cookie taste so bitter. I don't know why the recipe calls for unsweetened baking chocolate because that it where the bitterness is coming from. These cookies are very cute so I am going to try them again using milk chocolate chips for the chocolate layer and see how they turn out.
