really easy and quick. I had some shredded coconut in the pantry and pressed it into the top of each cookie before baking. terrific.
I made these and I was unimpressed, not a lot of flavor. I think the recipe has some errors, maybe from being transcribed from a larger recipe. The yield says 40 cookies, perhaps if you use a teaspoon of batter you will get 40 dime sized cookies. I got a dozen using a scant 2 oz scoop. I would recommend toasting the nuts first and then chopping rather fine since there isn't any flour in the recipe.
Not much flavor, even with lemon rind. Needs 11-12 minutes to bake till dry.
Nice, fresh tasting. Very different from other Christmas cookies. Keep them smaller and pat or gently roll with your fingers to clump tighter.
