Difficulty level and why: Easier than making a cinnamon roll.  A rolling pin with the spacers made it really easy.  This will be in our cookie recipes

What the family thought: It was good

What the consultant thought:  It took a little bet to get over that they are cookies not cinnamon rolls.  They were well received by the family

Overall score: 5.42

Difficulty level and why:  There are a lot of steps for these cookies.  It is not a cookie that you do at the spur of the moment.  You are basically making mini pies.  The steps themselves are not difficult, but time consuming. Dad would have just preferred to make one pie not several

What the family thought: It needed ice cream.  This is not the recipe you make with kids.  We doubled the recipe and got 32 cookies.  The kids like these over normal pie which is a big win in the family.

What the consultant thought:

Overall score: 4.75

On a side note.  This was the first time using a pastry mat and it was amazing.  That was a good purchase.  We also have a cheater rolling pin that will roll the dough to a thickness

Please note this recipe came from a subscription site.

Difficulty level and why: Almost medium.  We could not put as many on a tray as we normally would so baking took longer.  They also have to chill for two hours.  We lasted an hour before putting them in the oven.

What the family thought: The filling did not do much for me but make it sticky.  The cookies may be better without the filling

What the consultant thought: It was nutty
