Just not what I was looking for and had no luck with these. I have tried two other recipes and they turned out good but not great so I was trying various recipes until I find what I am looking for. Unfortunately these are not them at least for me. Maybe others will have better luck then I did. They are lacking taste and I cannot pinpoint where. My other issue with these was the time between being to hard to pull off and too soft was a far narrower window then I found with other recipes I have tried. Like I said it may have just been me messing them up and that is a real possibility so don't let my issues stop you from giving them a go as I would love to find how others faired with this recipe.
