These cookies are delicious, but they're a bit too time-consuming to make. I would recommend making them on a day when you have plenty of time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly.

I found these cookies to be a bit dry. I think they would be better with a little more butter or oil.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good. I would cut the sugar down by half next time.

These Italian wedding cookies are a delightful treat! They have a delicate and buttery flavor. I love the addition of the chopped nuts, which give the cookies a nice crunchy texture. I will definitely be making these again soon.
