The recipe has a nice taste when finished; however, I had to add a couple tablespoons of milk because the batter was not moist and therefore wouldn't have stuck together. When baking them, just go by look and feel; if the batter looks moist enough to form cookies from, then use it, otherwise add milk as needed. Like I said, the cookies taste very good when finished, so enjoy!
