These are every bit as good as I thought they would be. Don't know why no one has reviewed these yet. I made them like little cookies. Not at all sweet but packed with lots of gooda things. I used brown sugar instead of white...personal preference. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe. Will be making these again. I made these for Spring PAC 2010.
