My Notes:          Well I made these but was not so pleased with the outcome. There was really no flavour to them.

Note that the amount of flour is not enough. I had a sticky mess and had to add another cup of flour.

I sprinkled icing sugar on mine. My result came out dark because I tried jaggery instead of date sugar.
