No mistake with this kind of cookies ! Thank you for sharing and have a pleasant weekend !
Will this recipe work with margarine?
We usually make it with butter. So I’m not sure if you’ll need to add a little more flour or not using margarine. You could even do half margarine and half butter.
Very good recipe. I added chopped ginger to flour mix as I love ginger.
Found keeping my hands wet while rolling into balls helped.
Mine turned out like blobs of yuck. They spread and were raw and liquidy inside.
These went completely flat. What a waste of ingredients.
We increased the flour by 1/2 cup and hopefully that will help.
