It was too soft for what the amount of ingredients called for and even though I left it in the fridge overnight, it was almost just right but when using cookie cutters, the dough stuck to everything, no matter how much flour I used. This is definitely not for cookie cutters. Even after moulding it in circles, the kids ate only one and didn't like it.
