I would just add a bit more water (tiny amounts at a time) until you get the right consistency. Depending on humidity I find my baking can require a wide range of water to get the “right” consistency so just go slowly and it will be fine.

I made these today – and my dough never turned to “play dough” what did I do wrong? I mixed in my kitchen aid and it was just real crumbly like. I finally took the bowl out and start pressing balls together by hand and it 'stuck' are you suppose to use a mixer or do this by hand? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks (but the dough did taste great)

I was feeling brave today, so we tried this (me and 8 children ). It was a bit messy, but not nearly as messy as sugar cookies, and the kids had a ball! We shaped some of them and used cookie cutters for some of them. Years ago I tried a graham cracker recipe and this tastes more like the real thing. I may try on another day, spreading it in a thin layer in a cookie sheet, scoring it with a pizza cutter or knife, pricking it well with a fork and baking. I would take it out a little earlier and allow them to cool on the cookie sheet (and finish the last couple of minutes baking) and then break them on the scored lines. I think it would work great and you could probably dip them in milk like the store-bought kind and could definitely spread some frosting on them like my kids love! This was a great idea and very yummy. Thanks, Crystal!

These look so fun! I’m going to make them into music note shapes to give as a reward for my primary kids after their primary program tomorrow (I’m the chorister). Thanks for sharing such great recipes.

I had the kids make these last week and invited a friend over to join us. It was a BIG hit. I was out of brown sugar (so terrible I know!) But I miraculously had molasses and made fake brwon sugar by adding molasses to the white sugar. The creations were VERY yummy!

Thanks for answering my question, Crystal! I will try it again. (Not that I wasn’t already planning on it, since they were so tasty the first time!)

Thanks

Amy,

Using half whole wheat and half white flour shouldn't effect the texture of the dough. If it was really sticky, then there was too much water in it. Make sure to add the water very slowly because it doesn't take much to make it too much. Trust me! Glad you tried it and that your kids enjoyed it.

I used this cookie recipe as a base for some s’more cookies I wanted to make. The dough alone was so delicious I was seriously contemplating not baking it just so I could eat all the uncooked dough! The baked finished product was fantastic. Thanks for this great recipe!
