They aren't bad, but I've made better. These tended to be more biscuity than others I've had. They were a little heavy. Most recipes I've used call for more sugar and use cream. I think that would help them. Also brushing melted butter over the top before you bake them is nice.

Great recipe - I usually add currents or dried cherries when making this recipe. Thinking about adding dried cranberries and orange zest.
