Delicious flavor; crispy and light. Not a choice if you are in a hurry as the dough requires chilling and the rolling out is time consuming. I found the 1/4 inch rope to be too small. Slightly larger, maybe 1/2 inch, would be better, then slightly tapered at the ends when forming the crescent shape. But overall a very good cookie.
