These tasted great. But I had to add extra liquid to get the dough to hold together. They didn't come out looking waxy in my opinion either. I also had a hard time getting the cook time right. I think we ended up leaving them in for 15 minutes. And we also had to roll them smaller than walnuts or they didn't spread very well. And I found that the ones that I did on an ungreased tray actually turned out better. They seemed to spread more evenly. I am rating them 4 stars because the flavour was so good. But I would give the dough 3 stars due to difficulty.
