these present well for holiday trays. The flavor of the cookie is very very good and a nice change of pace from the usual butter/nuts of christmas. However that being said, I did up the spices out of preference and glad I did. The problem I had when I stirred up the 'dough' is that the only liquid in these is the butter. I re-read the recipe because the 'dough' was just so very very crumbly. I always cream my butter very well so my butter was not hard to begin with. I then searched the internet for other recipes and most call for molasses instead of the brown sugar. That makes sense, as it does add a bit more liquid. I was afraid that the dough would be hard after working it so much. They definitely were a crunchy more than crumbly cookie. I will use this recipe but next time sub out the brown sugar for molasses.
