These are absolutely scrumptious - a co-worker advised they would pay me to make these for them - and so easy to make.I would give more than five stars if I could.
The dough is extremely delicious and so easy to work with! The family thoroughly enjoyed them!!

I have to say that the smaller size works well too and is worth the effort. Sometimes I make pop-in-your-mouth size cookies on my cookie trays and the smaller size is perfect. I also recommend using a pizza cutting wheel when dividing your dough into either 16ths or 12ths. If the dough sticks to the wheel as you are cutting it, just gently press the dough down as it is being cut.
This is one of my favorite recipes. I make cookie trays with assortments of various favorite cookies for gatherings for family or friends. This one is a hit every single time.These twists also freeze well and need only a few minutes to thaw. You have to try them.

These are awesome! I did find it easier to cut the dough (leaving laying in circle) before sprinkling on the sugar/nut mix & apples. And I found 16ths were a little too fidgety, but 12ths were easier to work with and still gave you dainty little pastries.
