Tasty, but too much work. The cookies baked more like spoon-dropped biscuits than cookies and had a heavy, dense, dry texture. I tried rolling them thin and baking until very crisp, but the dough is so oily that it's difficult to work with in that manner. I could see the oil welling out of the dough as it sat in the bowl.
