  1. There must be a mistake in the amount of flour, I could not mix it to a soft dough. Recipe is awful, also instructions were vague.
     
  2. There must be a mistake in the instructions, as the dough is NOT "pourable", it's stiff, and you end up with 5 tough snakes instead of 50 tender cookies.
     
  3. Sorry, but this recipe is AWFUL. The cookies taste like playdough. I think there must be an error. Is there too much flour? step 3 says to "Pour" the dough, but it is thick dough and it tastes like flour. Also, what do you do with the 5 "s" rolls? cut them up after they cook? I found the directions confusing.
