Dough works up nicely, easy to handle, baking times are accurate (though it's kind of hard to tell just from sight if they are done). The 3 Tbsp amaretto is just enough to not be overpowering. The only odd thing is that mine seemed really dry. I know that's the nature of a cookie like this, but perhaps a little more amaretto or something could help that? I got 4 dozen making the batter as directed. Will definitely make again!

These types of cookies are one of our families favorites. The addition of the amaretto liqueur couldn't do anything but make a great cookie even better! They mix up like a dream. I didn't THINK so at first until I continued following the directions as written , and *whew* the addition of those 3T of amaretto liqueur was just enough to make the dough perfect to work with for me. (Just for clarification , when you are doing step 3 , you really don't think you're going to end up with a workable cookie dough , but after the addition of the amaretto , it's great!) The baking times were right on for me as well. Anyway, these will definitely be going onto my cookie trays for the holidays. Excellent , thank you for posting!

I was born in a small Canadian prairie town but was raised in the city. Country living appeals to me more and more and now I think I have the best of both worlds, living just outside the city but within a 30 minute drive from downtown.
I enjoy the wildlife I see out my kitchen window and my vegetable and flower gardens in the summer. And I love cooking with the produce from my garden, although there always seems to be too much at once. Learning to can became a necessity with all those beautiful vegetables and I now really enjoy making pickles, relish, salsa, jams and whatever else strikes my fancy.
I have 2 teenage sons and cooking to suit everyone's taste is always a challenge. Recipezaar has certainly made life easier in that regard, with so many great recipes to choose from.
