Notes from Gwen:

The dough will be extremely dry. You can put in enough water only to hold it together. If you put too much water they will not be hard enough when baked.

Chop the nuts fine but not until they turn into powder

Cut strips long enough to use them for soaking. This is not a dunking cookie. You need to soak them or your dental work could be at risk
