Excellant!! Planning on serving at my next dinner with guests. It is trul impressive and very tasty. Keep in mind to make sure there is 3" around each cookie or they run together. (still good to eat however!)

Outstanding. Guests ooohed, aahed, & yummed. Baked only 2 at a time for the 8 min. 1st couple, I used larger custard cups which didn't work at all; "cups" were cookies. We still used them & they still tasted delicious, just weren't baskets, so not as attractive.

It's late afternoon and I've just tried to make them for a luncheon tomorrow. Big mistake. They separated & spread all over, and I tried to get them back into 12 cookies. I did get them draped over my cups, but they still look raw and the butter is oozing at the bottom. Sending DH out to buy some Peppridge Farm Assorted Cookies to serve with the fruit & ice cream!

This tasted great, but after two frustrating batches, they still did not look right and most were soft and flexible.

This is really good and tasted quite yummy, but I had the same problem as another person comments on. I added 6 separate spoonfuls to my baking sheet, but it all ran together in one big square. So once I removed it from the oven I had to quickly try separating them back into 6 sections. After a minute or so I was able to drape them over the cups, but they turned out great! But just a little more effort.It could be because of the fact I mixed the flour and nuts together but should of folded the nuts in last? I will try it again and maybe boil the mixture a couple of minutes.

Easy, elegant looking and quick. My guests thought I fussed for hours to make dessert. Next time I'll add the chocolate bottom. Thanks for the great idea.

My husband takes a medication that reacts really bad when he eats nuts, so, when we need a substitute for nuts, we use roasted unsalted soy nuts. Hope this helps you out with this recipe.

Easy for an elegant dessert. I dipped the bottoms in melted chocolate which made it sit more level on a plate and helped contain the ice cream as it melted. Just melt chocolate chips and put in the fridge to let the chocolate harden.

Easy and delicious. A good substitute for nuts is Grape Nuts (the cereal). Provides that bit of crunch people like and it's healthy.
