[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and hard. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of benne seeds, but I thought I'd give these cookies a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The benne seeds add a subtle flavor that really complements the other ingredients. These cookies are definitely a keeper.
