"This is a terrible recipe!! I wish I had read the other reviews before trying it! It does come out more like a batter than a dough. When it came out all wrong, I came back to Allrecipe.com to see ..." See morewhat I could do - I added more flour and more sugar. They came out OK (my chocoholic husband still ate them), but the texture was still pretty weird. They did LOOK pretty though. Its a good concept. But something is definitely wrong with the ingredient proportions."
