To Dogcat8: if the dough is too soft, just put it in the refrigerator to firm up. If you are using a glass to flatten, dip the glass in sugar each time. Same with a fork...just dip it in sugar and flatten. If you spray the cookie sheets with Pam (or similar pan spray), the cookies will not stick to the pan.

The dough was VERY stiff and sticky and it was impossible to \"roll\" them in your hand. I had to use a cookie scooper and even that was tough. Forget using the bottom of a glass to flatten them either! The dough stuck right to the glass. I had to use a floured fork to flatten them. I wouldn't even attempt to put them on a regular cookie sheet. I used parchment paper. The icing was good along with the final cookie, but just a pain to work with the dough.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2013-12-08","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"OliveGlasses"},"reviewBody":"A friend brought these for our annual Thanksmas party last night.
