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.

    A perfect tea cookie! I also needed to add more cream to the dough for it to come together as other commenters mentioned.

    Like the previous commenter I found these dry.

    These are really simple butter cookies. First time baking with bakers ammonia and they turned out nice and crisp. The dough didn't come together as per recipe. I added an extra quarter cup of cream. It hits the spot if you want just want a little something with your afternoon tea/coffee
