Hi there! I am so sorry the recipe didn't work for you... It sounds like you had too much flour in your dough. It happens often when you scoop the flour with a measuring cup straight from the flour sack. Instead, try scooping it out with a spoon into the cup. I hope this helps!

I have a bunch of vintage aprons Mom's gotten for me.
Maybe I'll wear them when I'm picking up Daisy's toys?
