Perfect... once I added an egg!!! Was having a hard time believing that the dry, crumbly dough would be capable of forming into a ball and sticking together to form a cookie... was in disbelief that there WASN'T an egg in the recipe... so we added one, and they turned out PERFECT. Will definitely be making more for the holidays now!! ;)

These were okay. A bit dry. Flavor was different. Personally a one timer .

Pretty good recipe. The spice was too strong for me but I'm not ready to give up on the recipe yet. I would try them again with some spice experimentation (that sounds weird!)
