I could tell by the consistency of the dough that the cookies would be dry, and I was right. I followed the recipe exactly as written. My mom made these every year but I thought I would try a different recipe. BIG MISTAKE. Once they were baked, try were really dry and a bit tasteless. They definitely need icing and I will be using my mom\u2019s chocolate icing. Hopefully it will make them more palatable.

My deceased mother used to make these for Christmas. She added a tablespoon of almond flavoring, one quarter teaspoonful more cloves, and half a cup of walnuts to hers.
