These were amazingly un-matzoh flavored after baking. I added some coconut to the mixture just because I had some on hand, and otherwise followed the directions. I mixed the dough by hand and I think that helped it hold together when scooping. Also, I didn't use boxed matzoh farfel but instead used three matzohs and crushed them by hand. This way I can make the pieces a bit smaller than the boxed farfel, which I think makes them blend in better. THE YIELD INFO IS WAY OFF! I made large cookies (I baked for 17-18 minutes) and easily got 4 dozen from the recipe. A very good recipe that is not disappointing as some Passover desserts are. Thanks!

Great Passover cookie recipe! I replaced the nuts with 1/2 cup mixed fruit and 1/2 cup chocolate chips as my son does not like nuts in baked goods. I baked for only 12 minutes as we don't like too crispy cookies. The taste and texture were excellent. Nice crunch on the outside, softer on the inside, especially right out of the oven. No problems scooping batter. I used generous tablespoons and got 50 good sized cookies. Thanks for sharing this recipe. It's going into the Passover file and will use it again next year. A winner!!

I was really surprised. My picky husband and I loved these cookies. My hubby does not eat raisins or walnuts so I did 11/2 bittersweet chocolate and 1 1/2 dried cherries (Thanks 364186). I then cut the recipe in half and added walnuts to my half. His were flatter like regular chocolate chips but mine were just like the photo. Thank You for the wonderful treat we will have them again during the year.

These cookies were really great, and well-received. Exactly what I was looking for to bring to the seder. Three different people asked me for the recipe! I substituted dried cherries for the raisins, which added a pleasing tartness to the bittersweet chocolate chips. One thing: I used *heaping* tablespoons to drop the batter, and this recipe easily yielded 36 cookies.

These cookies were so crunchy and a great alternative to the store-bought passover cookies which are a fortune and not nearly as good as this recipe! I left out the raisins and put in more walnuts and chocolate chips to compensate. I'm not a big fan of raisins in cookies unless they are oatmeal!
