Comments
i made these and they fell apart. tasted ok, but when i put them in the cookie jar, they crumbled to pieces, i think there is a missing ingredient or a measurement is off.
I think they forgot to add the milk in the directions
I just mixed these cookies up and there is no mention in the directions as to when I should have added my one cup of buttermilk. I added the whole cup and now the dough is way to runny. I'm going to add more flour but I'm thinking it's going to cut way done on any good taste. What a waste of ingredients.
