I'm getting cookie crumbs on my keyboard and a fine dusting of 10x over everything. Good cookies! No eggs, no salt, no baking powder or soda---I thought maybe these were going to just crumble away. But no worries---they are almost crunchy on the outside and then lovely and soft within. I made mine a little larger--about one and half ounces of dough in each and had a yield of 23 nice sized crescents. I have to lock these away or give them away before I eat them myself.

Hello! I have a wonderful husband and two fantastic kids. I love to read, have fun with family and friends, stay active with: running; soccer; golf; biking; hiking; and gardening. I love to travel. I'm looking forward to more international travel someday. Cooking has become a passion for me. I love to read cookbooks, watch the Food Network, and try new recipes. I have way too many cookbooks! A few of my favorites are: Barefoot Contessa (any - but especially 'Family Style'),Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2, Roasting by Barbara Kafka, Beyond Parsley & The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. I try to carefully choose recipes that I think my family will enjoy, which is why most of my ratings are 3-5 stars. Happy cooking!
