They were very sweet which I expected after reading the other reviews but I was shocked that someone was able to shape them as they just kept falling apart. I used about 16 different cookie cutters and it was NOT a success.It was super duper dry. They did raise a lot which I was happy to see but I finally gave up and just rolled circles.

Very yummy! Also quite attractive, the tops get nice and crinkled. Crisp on the outside yet stay tender even when stored. A great recipe for using extra egg yolks. Thanks, KC, we really enjoyed these!
