      Thank you for your comment! It would certainly depend on the size of the cookies, as we made fairly large ones. We are glad you loved the recipe 🙂

    How long would these last in an air tight container? We are thinking of mailing them to my mother in law for her birthday. Thanks!

      Thanks for the question,
      It would be difficult to predict as they should be stored at room temperature. We would not recommend traveling in a hot climate more than a day. Sorry!

    The dough was crumbly is that the way they should be

      Hmmm, doesn’t sound quite right. Perhaps you used a different flour? It could also depend on the humidity where you live. The dough should not be wet, but crumbly is not right. You may want to add a touch of milk to make it the proper consistency. Hope it turns out next time!

    Delicious and GF!

    These were delightful and so easy to make. I was actually in a hurry and was not able to refrigerate my dough. I tested 6 cookies and they turned out perfectly. I used butter and Bob’s Red Mill Baking Flour. Great texture and taste. Thanks for the recipe!
