Happy baking ... whitney: I'm so sorry to hear that! As you can see in my photos, the dough sliced really easily for me. Did you chill it well? The only thing I had trouble with was getting them off the cookie sheet which I neglected to line, despite the recipe's instruction to do so. Most of them came off the sheet, but there were a few that didn't make it. I hope the crumbs at least taste good. : ( Andrea: We are definitely in the same boat! Happy baking …

I am baking the crumbs right now. Did you have any problems with the dough at all?

I totally understand what you mean about making up for lost holiday years...i was finishing my master's in architecture the last two years so Christmas came and went in 2006 + 2007 without even one cookie being baked! This year, I've been a baking machine!!! :) These are beautiful too!
