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

  • anya_sf on December 14, 2020

    Never again. After storing the dough (in the fridge) 2 days, it was still super sticky and slack. I tried rolling it out with lots of flour, but just couldn't cut shapes. I kneaded a bunch more flour into the dough and tried again, but as soon as I cut the dough, it would stick back together, and the cookies wouldn't retain any shape whatsoever. I managed to cut about 1/2 the dough into random weird rectangular-ish pieces and baked them anyway. They needed an extra 3 minutes to bake. The glaze needed double the juice to become spreadable. The flavor and texture of the few misshapen cookies I managed to bake were actually decent.
