I didn't bother with cutting, or adding the sprinkles, or chilling the dough over night. Instead, I added a lot of cocoa and made them into chocolate cheesecake type of cookies and dropped them on the tray. Turned out excellently!!

They looked good and were easy to make but they were dry and no one ate them. That was disappointing. I will not make them again

These are good. Everyone at work liked them. They have a nice soft texture.

I feel like there is very little taste to these cookies. I have tons of cookies now so i'm trying to find a cream cheese icing to add some flavor....and i did everything to the T.

I gave these cookies 3 stars because they did look beautiful but they tasted plain and boring. you could taste a little bit of the cream cheese but that was the only flavor. I didn't like the texture either it was not chewy or cakey it was just different. My husband said they tasted like malt o meal.

Delicious! Didn't change recipe at all and turned out perfectly. Used serated knife to cut dough. Didn't have a problem at all and I only refrigerated for 2 hours. Will be a staple recipe throughout the year.

Excellent cookie! It's a lot of trouble, but I developed a system that seemed to work for me. I put the parcels of dough in the freezer for a while, then was able to better shape them into round rather than square logs. I kept them in the freezer for a while longer and rolled them in the colored sugar. That also helped to round them. I returned them to the freezer for a while longer, then just brought out enough to cut for one cookie sheet. They were easy to slice, pretty much retained their shape, and didn't stick to the knife blade. While one sheet was in the oven I prepared the next one, and by the time it was ready to go into the oven, the dough was soft enough that I could easily tweak the shape if necessary. I used chopped pecans on top, and they added a wonderful toasted nut flavor. I used purchased colored sugar because I wanted the large crystals. One thing I noticed that no other reviewer seems to have mentioned is that the sugar caramelized a little and added an extra dimension of flavor and crunch. Definitely a good addition to any Christmas cookie tray.

I found this recipe over 10 years now, This site was called CookieRecipe.com at that time. I have made them every year at Christmas time and LOVE them! This year I made the dough on Sunday evening knowing I would busy during the work week and just made them 2 days later and they turned out beautifully. Excellent cookie!

These were really good, but you have to refrigerate them for a long time. I had them in there for about 9 hours and it still wasn't long enough. The first batch looked really sloppy and disfigured! So with the rest of them I sliced the rolls and then molded the cookies with my hands to make nice circles. Then I dipped the tops of the cookies in the colored sugar and the ugly batch got dipped in chocolate. Yummy!

These are awesome! They also were very easy to make. This one is a keeper. Not too sweet, creamy yet a little crumbly.

These cookies are yummy! I didn't let them sit overnight or wrap them, I just dropped them onto a cookie sheet (after a few minutes in the freezer) and pushed the sprinkles down on the top of them. I thought they were prettier this way, I didn't have to wait til the next day to finish them and they tasted just great!

We like everything less sweet, so we were attracted by the criticism that this recipes wasn't "sweet enough". We omitted the nuts, replaced sugar with honey and added little white chocolate and dried cranberry (no sprinkles). Used this recipe for Valentine's Day and shaped them into hearts. They kept shape nicely and were delicious. I noticed they seemed to take a long time to brown, and then seemed to suddenly brown quickly at the end. I've tried many cream cheese cookies recipes, and this is the best I've found.

These cookies might need to be outlawed around here. Biggest hit I have ever made. And I froze some on a whim and they worked fine 3 weeks later. If you like shortbread you will love them. If not then you will find them too bland.

Keeper Excellent not too sweet and very pretty for any holiday

Out of all the cookies I made for Christmas, this is the one everyone wanted the recipe for! This one is a keeper!! Thanks!
