In addition to being a delectable dessert, tiramisu provides the ideal transition when attempting to shift the Valentine’s dinner talk to more abrasive topics. This potent, mood-enhancing mixture is rich and intensely pleasant while incredibly light in texture. Although you can use plain cream cheese, mascarpone is much better.

So … I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong but as they are cooking they literally are melting and not staying circular. The flavor of the batter is okay though for a mild tasting sweet
Made them at Christmas time and everyone liked them
These are not the sweetest cookies ever, but it’s still a fantastically easy recipe. If you roll the cookies in the powdered sugar immediately after taking them out of the oven it sticks to the cookies really well. I’ve had other cookies like this and the powdered sugar is most of the flavor. I used only one cup of walnuts because that’s all I had on hand and I think they came out nicely. Just to let you know, if you bake them for the full 20 minutes your cookies will be very crispy. If you like your cookies a little bit softer you can bake for only 16 minutes. Either way they are definitely yummy!
Great cookie to have with coffee. Not to sweet. It sound weird but they reminded me of pineapple upside down cake in flavor. Very easy to make.
I have mede this cookie exactly as it states and I find it bland. I did remake this and added cinamon allspice and nutmeg and I liked it alot better.
Easy to make but not to my taste.
