“I have a suggestion for those that say the dough was crumbling. Instead of using measurements in cups use grams. One cup of flour is about 120 grams. 16 tablespoons of butter equals 1 cup or 227 grams. Universal measurements are the only true way of measuring ” — a cook, 5★
“Really hard to roll out. I did what other reviewers said and added 3 egg yolks to it, popped in fridge again and it saved my cookies. Not sure why the original didn’t work. I followed it exactly.” — a cook, 3★
