Hi, I just tried these again today after receiving your email on your 2 year blog. These cookies look delicious, but I just can’t make them right for some reason!! I think maybe I’m rolling them wrong. I’m starting at the short end and rolling up. I slice them about one inch like it says, but they fall over and look like pinwheels. The taste is great, but your picture of them they look smaller. Any suggestions. Thanks again!!

Sooo excited to try this recipe next week for Thanksgiving! I am more of a cookie fan than a pie fan so these will be a perfect addition to our dessert menu. I have been trying a TON of your cookie recipes and they are so good! I wondered a long time ago while slaving over a batch of “kolach” (what we call nut roll in our family here in Youngstown, OH) if there was a cookie version of that holiday treat. Thanks for sharing all the great recipes!

Carolyn, Thank you so much for writing, so happy to hear you have enjoyed these cookies. Always great to hear from a fellow Pittsburgher as well!

I’m long overdue in writing to you about these cookies. Think I stumbled across this recipe and your website over a year ago when doing an internet search for Italian cookies to add to our Christmas baking repertoire. Disclaimers first: I’m 100% Italian, a life-long Pittsburgher and the granddaughter of a professional baker who for many years was the cookie baker at Kaufmann’s Department Store in Downtown Pittsburgh. Now for my real reason for writing: these cookies are amazing! Delicious, easy to make, pretty on a tray, makes a lot without a lot of trouble — you name it. I love this recipe and just wanted to thank you for sharing something so precious. I’ve even made these for a celebration at my church for one of our former Italian priests who was elevated to Cardinal and shipped off to Rome. But I had to hide them from my husband first, as they have become his favorite cookie, right up there with cranberry biscotti. Would have loved to make them for my own Grandma. Thanks again!

You know Joan, I’ve never tried freezing them – our family always gobbles these up! I imagine they would though, can’t see why not.

Hi Nancy, I’m so sorry that these didn’t turn out for you. I’ve never baked them in an entire roll and cut them, but it’s certainly something you can try. The only thing I can think is that the dough may have been too warm/soft. Next time try assembling the cookies and then popping the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill them for about 30 minutes then bake. If you try again let me know how it turns out, this is one of my grandma’s old recipes and one of my favorites!

This recipe looked so good I had to try it. My cookies did not turn out at all. They spread so much while baking. Did not hold shape at all. Any suggestions???
Thanks! Followed recipe exactly. Did you ever try baking whole roll and then cuting?

Also, forgot to say that I used pecans – didn’t have any walnuts – I would probably still use the shortening and not butter.

I think a podcast or two added to the mix would be really cool.
(Recipes like this make me so jealous of all of you people who don’t live with people with nut allergies. Pout.)
