my mix came out really sloppy, couldn't roll into balls, could this be because I substituted butter with Marg and treacle with honey? how can I remedy this? tried adding more flour - 12 Jul 2012

we could not decide to use brown sugar or caster sugar like the recipe says so we just put half and half and it works perfectly! - 18 Aug 2012
