I am sorry to say that this recipe did not turn out for me. I had a lot of difficulty with it....the cookies hardened too quickly, and were too dry. I believe that there was too much dry ingredients for the amount of liquid, or that the cooking time was too long. I cooked for 3 minutes only. The few cookies that had shape were too hard to eat. I saved the crumbs for adding to pudding, ice cream, cakes and cookies as the flavor was very nice. I am giving three stars because of the flavor of the cookies only....Thank you for sharing. Made for Spring Pac 2014.
