I too found this too dry to work with so I added an egg and it helped.

I will have to double the recipe for my Literary Club meeting and have copies of the recipe ready for everyone. (When I make these I have to give them away or else I will eat them all myself.
7/8/2011 02:12:11 PM Report AbuseI found this recipe in April '10 BHG magazine. Folowing the directions exactly, my dough would not form balls. It was too dry & "sandy." I added 2 Tablespoons of butter & one egg. That made the difference. Your mistake or mine? Thanks.
12/19/2010 09:35:05 AM Report AbuseI made these cookies today and they were great. I didn't have any unsalted butter so I had to use margarine. It made the dough a bit saltier than expected so I increased the sugar by two more tablespoons. Also, instead of using orange marmalade, I had some homemade peach jam that I wanted to finish up. It worked great! I used rosemary that I picked fresh from my garden. The only qualm I have about this recipe is that the yield is not nearly enough... My family needs closer to 60 cookies lol!
