Thank you for your reply. I will try again decreasing the flour and see if that helps. Happy T Day to you and yours.

Shelley, thank you for the feedback. I’m not sure what is happening with your cookies. They should be crunchy and crisp. I wish I could see your dough. It should not be difficult to mix in the dry ingredients. Would you like to experiment and decrease the flour by 1/4-1/2 cup? The proportion does seem high to me as I revisit the recipe. I will try to find time after Thanksgiving to retest these and will post any changes to the original recipe. Wishing you and yours a happy Thanksgiving! …Susan

This is a wonderfully different recipe. I enjoy exploring unique food experiences and was looking for a fun and sophisticated cookie. I have chosen several of your other cookie recipes to try this year as well. Having said that, I need some direction. I am having a bit of trouble with the texture. They seem a bit dry and crumbly and not crisp after baking. I used all the recommended ingredients and measured carefully. It was very difficult to incorporate the dry ingredients, but succeeded and the cookies formed balls and held their shape well. As mentioned in the recipe, it is hard to tell when they are actually done. I thought maybe I overcooked the first batch, but when I pulled the next ones out a bit early, they were too doughy. I do live in an extremely dry climate and wondered if that might have something to do with my troubles. Do you have any suggestions and what do these little morsels of yumminess FEEL like when they are ready to come out of the oven. Thank you so much.
