Just made some of these. They taste great and I like the little snap from the cornstarch. As much as I like the way cutout cookies look, they are too time consuming for gifts. Besides, I might end up eating most of them.
I made the mistake of only using 1 stick + 2 Tbsp of butter in my first batch. I realized it when after adding the flour, it didn't quite come together. So does anyone have suggestions on salvaging the dough or is there something else I can make with it? I'd just hate to throw it out.
I wonder if you melted that other stick of butter and mixed it in slowly, if that would work. If it does, chill overnight before using. I think you might be able to do this; certainly better than throwing out. Otherwise, you can add more flour, cinnamon, and turn it into streusel topping! - PJH
