This was the tenth batch of cookies that some friends and I made yesturday. They were awful. The directions tell you to add the flour until a ball forms, then to knead the dough. After we had added all of our ingredients, the dough was not even close to forming a ball, and could not possibly be kneaded. I added additional flour, almost a cup, to get dough the right consistency. Then I rolled the dough into ropes, forms into a circular twist shape and baked. The end product tastes like a licorice flavored biscuit. I did not ice these, but I can't imagine the icing could improve them that much. I would be embarrassed to serve these. Maybe this recipe would work if the wet ingredients were decreased or butter was softened instead of melted. Yuck.

How do you make the 'Q' shape? Mine came out looking like 'O's with a tail. How would you store these?
