The cookie was way to dry to be easy to work with.My plan had been to make these for our church cookie walk, and I needed 4 dozen.

It took me two tries to get it right.  I screwed it up the first time and then read the reviews.  It is a shortbread cookie and will crumble, be patient.  It shouldn't be too sticky or gooey. That was the mistake I made, I sifted the flour and ended up with gooey cookies.  When rolling the balls, keep them true to size and you should end up with 50-60 total sandwich cookies. I got 50 and I wasn't really trying.  The flavor was great!!! Also when using the glass and the sugar, don't push too hard or the cookies won't be little and thick - they will be too thin.

That improved the flavor and sweetness of the cookie.  Rolled the balls small and flattened with colored sugars as directed.  As suggested, don't flatten too much or the cookie will fall apart. I did not get 60 servings from the batch.  The filling is wonderful!  Already used the same filling recipe as frosting with another cookie!
