I have to agree with Chef#. The dough ended up like a batter. I baked according to the recommended time and the next day, they moistened and felt sticky and undercooked, so i REBAKED them the next night. They still came out cake-like. While they TASTE fine, they make better muffins. I recommend just calling it a muffin or cupcake recipe.

the taste was good however they came out like pancakes - I wanted cookies:( if I made them as cupcakes, perhaps it would have been better. But I don't suggest these to make as cookies
