Notes
Note1: Do not be tempted to add more flour, if you still feel your dough is too soft for you to handle, stick in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. This should take care of it.
Note2: I shaped mine into bite sized cookies as this is how I like them to be. My cookies were roughly 11-12 grams each, a little bit more than half a tablespoon of dough.
Note3: stick the cookies together right before serving. Leftover glued cookies will get soft, not that it will taste bad but just so you know it will get softer. Store any leftover cookies in a glass jar or container with a lid in a dry cool place. This will keep them fresh for about two weeks.
