Reviews for Milk-Chocolate Cookies with Malted Cream

I somewhat agree with the other reviews. The filling was too stiff and I also added some milk to it. But the comments about the batter being too dry I don't know what they're talking about. I had no problem with the batter being to dry or difficult to roll out. Yes the cookies are a bit time consuming but that's obvious when you look at the recipe. I served them at a party and everyone loved them.

This cookie had great flavor, however I do agree with the previous reviews.  The dough was very difficult to roll out, I also added some water, and the filling was much to stiff,  I added about a tablespoon of milk to while making it, which made it much easier to pipe into the cookies.  Did anyone at F&W test this recipe? It sounded great and looked good in the picture but, it was just such a pain to make.  I don't think I would  bother to make it again.

The dough is too dry to easily roll out and cut. I added a little water each time I rolled it out so it would stick together better. For the filling, I just spooned it onto the cookies--much easier than piping. The biggest let-down was that using a 2 inch cookie cutter leaves you with only 12 sandwich cookies. Too much work for so few! I'd recommend using a smaller cookie cutter.

this cookie kinda sucks!  the dough is ridiculously crumbly and barely holds together enough to roll out without A LOT of coaxing.  the filling is equally problematic in that it is way too stiff - even after trying to soften in the microwave.  i threw out the 2nd batch i had in the fridge because it was such a headache.  (i make dozens of cookies each week so i know what i am talking about.)  i will not be making this again.

Should the flour be sifted before measuring or not at all?

I just made this recipe and the filling is very stiff. How can it be piped? Was something left out of the recipe?
