What do you think of these Eggnog Cookies?
Ingredients need to be listed in the order in which they are used.
Instruction #2 & 3 are confusing as the vanilla is added in #2 and again in #3.
Instruction #3: Adding a tsp on vanilla will not change the consistency of the dough
Flour is listed but not used.
What is the the “desired consistency”?
Thanks for your feedback Sam, I’ve made some edits.
As far as desired consistency that is up to you! Some people like their frosting thicker, sweeter, ect than others.
