l-lexusandwhai6@hotmail.frThese cookies are delicious, but they're a bit too crumbly. I think I'll try adding an extra egg yolk next time.

i.s@hotmail.comI had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. I think I might have rolled the dough too thin.
Usman Shazada
shazada@hotmail.comThese cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.
