Very good recipe. The cookies came out very well. I had to add a couple of tblsps of water to knead the dough. Thats the only addition i did.
Awesome cookie with the flavor of cheese. This is not a sweet cookie but still tastes great.
The idea of non-sweet cookies baffled me at first but after having the finished product, this recipe is worth the while! Its healthy, nutritious and lasts pretty long! Thanks.
