These are absolutely to die for! I made them tonight for a carry-in at work tomorrow. It was all I could do to not eat three or four of them when I was taking them out of the pan. I have orders to make them again! And....for those of you who need to avoid wheat, I used Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Gluten Free Baking Flour and added 1 tsp. of xanthan gum and my wheat eating family couldn't tell the difference!
