when i was rolling my dough into balls, it was not very solid, not sure if thats normal or not. I also just dipped the top half in sugar w/o the water, because when I tried that for the first 2, it was getting messy :/

This is a great cookie. I make them all the time. Once you make them you will understand the purpose of the full cup of sugar for dipping. Once that sugar begins to glaze, wow delicious.

I agree, there is something wrong with this recipe. 1 full cup of sugar just for dipping? Ended up with 3/4 cup sugar left over and the cookies weren't sweet enough. Same issue with crumbly dough, cookies were dry and tasteless. Really disappointing.

This is a delicious buttery cookie. My family loves them. I do have a question though. When baking, the dough spreads and loses the ball shape. What can I do to keep the dough from losing the ball shape? Am I making the balls to big? Have made a couple of times.

I made these cookies today with my eldest daughter and I think there's something wrong with the recipe. I don't think there's enough liquid in the dough; it was rather dry and crumbly. Also, the recipe card says that one batch of dough should yield 5 dozen cookies. I used my cookie disher (1 inch in size) and did as directed, rolling into balls. I only got about 2 dozen cookies out of this batch!

I will make them again, though, since they are really quite good, but might make some adjustments.

I re-tested these cookies and used a cookie scoop for a cookie that is made with a 1 inch ball of dough. It sounds like the cookie should be very big but when measured the dough ball is fairly small but it does equal 1 inch in diameter. I got 60 cookies and they were baked through and very lightly browned on the edges. If the scoop of cookie dough is too big ti will yield a large cookie and very likely in the bake time listed would be not completely baked. I hope you try this cookie recipe again but make the balls smaller.

Bring on the Sunshine and Bust Out the Grill for Bacon Onion Cheeseburgers

I am a lucky girl that my grill master husband is willing to brave all kinds of nasty weather in order to sear our meat for us. Nothing, however, is quite like grilling in the summertime! The balmy weather, the casual atmosphere as you chat with friends on the patio, the smell of your dinner cooking—mmm! It all comes together to make some of our best meal experiences.
