Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This dough gets very thick and when adding dry ingredients I suggest you use dough hooks. If mixer labors too much you may need to finish by hand. The dough can be stored in refrigerator 1- 1 1/2 weeks. You must cover unused dough tightly with saran wrap and lay a moist cloth over the saran wrap to keep the dough moist.



You can make as many cookies at a time that you want
