These cookies were light and delicious. I cut down on the sugar (~1/2) in the cookies and added some golden flax meal for extra heartiness. I lessened the butter and increased the juice on the filling. As my dough turned out to be quite sticky I ended up rolling the dough into spheres and flattening them with the floured bottom of a cup. I baked them for a little more than 11 minutes and they were perfect. I spread a dab of icing on them -- warm grapefruit cookies right out of the oven mmm :)
The cookies are delicious - however, baking them 18-20 minutes will cause them to burn. Should the time have been 8-10 minutes instead? I followed the directions to the letter and had to remove the first pan at the 12 minute mark. The next pan was perfect at 9 minutes.
It was so funny watching Kristin do what "is not her thing" but she was a total good sport about it. As for contamination.....get real.!! If we only knew what goes on at he kitchens in the restasurants we eat at, we would not eat out at all. I will try these cookies. They look fairly easy to make. Thanks for the recipe!!!!
if the frosting is too runny, put it in the freedge for about 30 mins. It should have the right consistency to pread it
I am proudly presenting <a href="http://www.kekstester.de/2010/01/pink-grapefruit-sandwich-cookies//">my version of these delicious cookies</a>. I am glad everything turned out well enough, I even managed to do the creme filling although never made on before! Everybody loved them!
these were VERY time consuming and i'm STILL not done with them. i'm really hoping they'll turn out, but i sure won't do them again. it took me over an hour just to get the dough done and that's it. i let them cool in the refrigerator overnight and i still have yet to cut them and bake them and make the frosting. i do like the smell of grapefruit though. :) it must be nice for her to have the magic of time elapsed television to make her cookies in 5 minutes.
I really loved these cookies, but I also hoped they would have more grapefruit flavor. I found the icing very sweet which also took away from the grapefruit flavor. With a few tweaks, I will definitely make these again!
Is it necessary to use the Cake Flour? I'm going to try them without since I don't have any, nor do I have corn starch to make my own. Has anyone made them using all-purpose flour for both amounts?
I really enjoyed these but wish they had more grapefruit flavor. I think I will add more grated peel next time. The fillling amount should be cut in half because I had about half left after filling all of mine. I got about 38 cookies out of mine and they are almost gone. Will make again with a few changes. Yum!
These cookies are really good. I made them using the grapefruit tree in my back yard. I will definitely make these again.
i made the cookies with my marsh grapefruits and they were wonderful. the grapefruit filling made more than i used so i am freezing it to see how that works out - i think the extra "cream" would be great on some cupcakes - i love this recipe and so did my husband, who is cookie pickie!

i have a marsh grapefruit tree and am going to use that - will let ya'll know how they turn out - (marsh grapefruit is a yellow one)
hmmm.. well it is a tv show and they only had a certain amount of time for the segment. It would be kind of distracting and choppy if they were totally OCD and washing their hands every time they touched something...
This cookie is good, but really sweet- I was hoping for a bit more bite from the grapefruit juice. I like rsvoboda 's suggestion of brushing a little of the extra grapefruit juice on the insides of the cookie before sandwiching them.

Everyone expects a certain cleanliness standard in the kitchen. But if you are that concerned about cross contamination, maybe you should just eat food that you prepared yourself, because no one knows what might have happened during preparation. This is especially true for people with allergies.
Teaching the how to's of making this cookie are important but cleanliness is also a good thing to teach especially in the kitchen. If you are the only one going to eat them then fine but when you are going to share how about a little cleanliness.
That said, it is only a show with the intent to teach the process of making the cookies. Thanks Martha for such a great site. I have enjoyed so many good recipes from your site.
Hello everyone, I bet these cookies would be great with the addition of cream cheese to the cookie batter...I have read some comments here and whomever said that if I believe her mom knew what was in there she wouldn't eat them, I completely agree, I will make these and not tell anyone what's in them till they taste them, I love different baked items, Thanks Martha............
I'm glad I'm not the only one who takes exception to the many times in each cooking segment that either the guest or Martha cross contaminate the food they are preparing by touching their hairor licking their fingers-ugh--poor Joey-love him!
hah! bayarts, I had the same thought after the shoe handling and again after she moved the box she was standing on! I think any time I might make these cookies that will probably come to mind. I know if my Momma sees anything like this she would refuse to eat anything from that person's kitchen. ha ha
These cookies sound divine....but I sure wish that actress had washed her hands after taking her shoe off! :-(
omg .. ok, these cookies look delicious. but, how CUTE is kristin chenoweth?! she's so teeny!! :):)
I just had these cookies at a party and they were a huge hit with everyone there! I came straight home to google the recipe and am thrilled to find it here! I am usually a chocolate finatic but this cookie is the best thing I've ever had!Shopgirl must have made them differently or maybe grapefruit just isn't her thing...

I made these cookies for a sweets party, and they were the first ones gone! Everyone loved them. That said, I might roll them a little thinner and just ice them rather than making them a sandwich cookie, since the icing didn't really stay in the cookie when bitten into- it squished out the sides- which I found a little messy.
I made these and took to a recipe exchange party. Everyone LOVED them! I had diffuculty with the dough and rolled out small balls that I flattened with a glass. I also used 2 grapefruits and brushed the insides (bottom ) of the cookies before I sandwiched them. These are fresh and clean, perfect for summer. This is my new signature recipe!
I saw the show with Martha Stewart and I was so excited to make this cookie, but it was a BIG disappointment!!!!!! Very time consuming, it did not taste good and will be throwing out rest of dough and icing. Sorry Martha, not a hit with my husband and myself. Do not recommend this cookie.
