These were awesome!! I had no problems with my dough being crumbly and I used the full 2 1/2 cups of flour...maybe has something to do with me being in hot, humid Florida. I made the dough the night before and formed it into a square. When I got it out of the fridge today I let it sit a while then I used it like slice cookies and just sliced strips of dough off, worked great!! I hate getting out my rolling pin if I don't have to. Thanks!

I decreased the flour to 2 cups and the brown sugar to 3/4 cup. With these changes the cookies were crumbly, but not falling apart as some of the other reviewers stated. I shaped my cookies into 1" by 2" logs. When cool I dipped about 1/3 of the cookie in melted chocolate and then rolled in chopped pecans. With the above changes I would give this recipe 5 stars.

I rolled them into little balls and flattened them into thumbprint cookies. i also left half of them phain. they taste amazing, but they spread too much. i think that next time i will make these cookies with shortening instead of butter.

I followed other reviewers suggestions and the cookies came out perfectly. I only used 2C flour and I used light brown sugar and cooked at 300 degrees for 20 minutes. After cooling for a minute or two the cookies have a great crunch. Warning they are very addicting!

I made these using the suggestions of another cook in the reviews, using only 2 cups flour and rolling into logs ,chilling then slicing and baking. Thet were quite good and my husband who is a dunker liked them. My only concern was with the cooking time,35 to 40 min? Can't be right. I just watched them and removed them when they were light brown, but a novice might try baking them for that length of time..... Not good.

Mrs. Evelyn Paradies says this recipe is ever so wonderful. Of course it can seem like a greasy candy, however, if you don't eat half of the cookie dough before baking, the recipe will come out just right and you will be so very pleaed. My husband has gained 14 pounds last month as he has simply enjoyed these cookies more than his regular apple dumplings.

Though these had a delicious flavor they were hard as rocks. Way too much sugar, seemed more like a greasy candy then a shortbread cookie

The dough was so dry, it was crumbly. After molding into a ball and refrigerating, it was like a rock. I added butter as I worked with the dough. After they baked for much less than the specified time, they were hard as a rock. They obviously require less flour!

Only had brown sugar and was looking for a cookie with few ingredients. These fit the bill. Big cruncy and sweet! Whole family enjoyed. Wath them carefully though , can burn fast.

This was a quick and easy dessert I put together in just a matter of minutes. I didn't make these into cookies. Instead, I spread this out in a greased 15x10 inch pan and baked it for about 20-25 minutes. I added an egg yolk into the mixute to hold it together. I spread some homemade chocolate sauce on top and sprinkled it with walnuts. My son went nuts for this. Good recipe Robin.

I found the dough too crumbly and with a second batch only used 2 cups of flour. I rolled the dough in about 2 inch sausages and put it in the fridge for 2 hours, then cut the dough in 1/4 inch thick cookies. They came out perfectly and melt in your mouth!

These cookies are very simple. If you don't want to roll out the dough, form it into small balls and flatten them with a glass. The cookies are very plain and crunch, so I think they taste best when dipped in coffee or cocoa.
