Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I was very disappointed by this recipe. Certain ingredients have exact weights and measurements, but others do not. I needed to add another whole egg to make the dough come together. The cookies looked good enough once baked, but they had very little flavor and an uncomfortably crunchy, grainy texture. What a waste.

    I made these today and was so disappointed. I measured the ingredients, but when I used the food processor, the dough would not stick together. Thinking that my eggs were too small, I put in another egg yolk. Still nothing. So I added one more. Still nothing. I then added lemon extract and almond extract. At this point, I did not feel I was following the recipe. The taste in the end was nice and lemony, but I would not make this recipe again.
