Wish I had found my mom's recipe., December 23, 2004 - 10:45 PM
Reviewer: tiffanypcb from panama city beach florida
Dough was extremely dry and hard to work with even after adding sprinkles of water. No additional flour was needed for sure. Cookies we're as dry as the dough and only yeilded four cookies...The ones that didn't break.
