The taste of these cookies are so good. But I had problems with the dough. It was too dry to combine. After step 2 you don't mention to add the egg and vanilla. I added milk to the dough to be able to roll it into a roll. Cause it was falling off. I tried a roll with unsweetened coconut and one with dates. Both are great.
