This recipe produced a delicious cookie. I added about half a cup of chopped walnuts and followed the recipe precisely. If flour is added properly, the dough will not be dry. It should be spooned into the measuring cup and not packed, otherwise too much dry volume will be added to the mixture. Also, using a large egg increases moisture. I will save this recipe and definitely bake them again!

I prepared this recipe exactly as described, but found the dough was very, very dry. I tried baking a few of the cookies with the dry dough, but as predicted, it made for very crumbly and dry cookies. For the second batch, I mixed in about 1/3 cup of water, and that seemed to help produce a more moist cookie.
