I don't know what other people are complaining about. If you follow the recipe, everything works out fine. It's not the best cookie I've ever tasted or anything, but it's pretty good. 1/4 tsp nutmeg isn't too much. If you don't like spices, you shouldn't make this recipe in the first place! I didn't have any problems with the dough getting too sticky right after mixing. I just put it on plastic wrap, pressed it into a log, rolled it in sprinkles, wrapped it up and put it in the freezer for 2 hours before slicing. It sliced great. I had to bake it for 10 min, until it was puffed up and golden brown. It's a pretty quick and easy recipe!

Like others I found this dough way to soft to roll into logs even with 1/4 cup added flour. It is now chilling in the fridge and after reading the other reviews I may just drop by tsp. full and press with a sugared glass. Then try sprinkling on the chocolate bits. I also left out the cinnamon and nutmeg and added 1&1/2 TB. cocoa powder to make the Mocha cookies. (Not a big fan of spice anything.) As to whether I'd make this recipe again, it depends on how they turn out so I'm going to check NO. If they turn out ok and taste good I may change my mind and re-rate.

I used a few modifications like many of the others. Used regular shortening instead of the butter shortening and it worked fine. I also cut the amount of nutmeg in half. The flavor was present but not over powering. I tried the mocha modification mentioned by another and added 1/4 cup cocoa. Chocolate was the over powering flavor. I would have liked the coffee flavor to come out more. When I make these again I will put more coffee in them if adding the cocoa. I also agree tht freezing the dough is much better then putting it in the ridge.

Not sure if I'll make again. Look good, taste good. Had trouble with the dough sticking to everything when trying to shape and wrap to refrigerate.

Blah. Not a very good cookie. A pain to make because the dough is very soft. I had to freeze mine for about 4 hours and it still barely hardened. I didnt even finish making all of the cookies after i tried the first batch out of the oven.Too much spice, esp. the nutmeg flavor that comes out at the end..not my type of cookie..

Made mine mocha flavor. To better suit my husband's taste, I added 1/3 cup cocoa powder in with the flour mixture. Also had no butter-flavor shortenting so used butter instead. Mine were not as well formed as those in the photo - maybe because of my modifications - but still tasted great. Made 4 dozen for me.

These are great when done right! Freeze the logs for two hours instead of refridgerating and DO NOT overbake. I did just 5 minutes in my convection oven, and it was just right!

These cookies are very easy to make. They are a good holiday cookie. Mine didn't look like the ones in the picture, but they still tasted good. I'll probably double the recipe next time.

This recipe looks great, but I try to avoid shortening. Will this recipe work if I use real butter instead?
