I made half of this recipe. I used sugar substitute, orange juice because I didn't have lemon and no nuts because I ran out. They puffed out more because I forgot to halve the amount of b. powder, but they were still very good. I liked the sweet and spicy flavor that they have. Also, I shaped them into balls instead of rolling them out and dipped them into the cinnamon/milk mixture. Will make again (I love that they are low fat!) Thanks! Made for Spring PAC '09.
