Mine came out perfect and my dogs are fighting over them lol. I lost interest in making dough balls so used a round pizza pan and made 1 big cookie and then used pizza cutter to make bars. Lazy man trick haha!

I just mad a batch of these and the dough was really sloppy wet. I followed the recipe to the letter. There as no way i could roll them into a ball . All the moisture caused my oven to smoke horribly. May try another batch and add a lot more flour....after I air out my house. 😂

Some ovens vary. Maybe try lowering the temp and cooking a bit slower :)
