they came out HUGE (so be careful how big you plop down the dough on the cookie sheet. They were slightly brown on the outside and soft and flaky on the inside. Delicious!

ETA: I shaped them like small meatballs and they came out perfect.

OH THANK YOU, THANK YOU... I am DYING To make these

Re: Another cookie receipe request

they are soo easy! The dough though is very very sticky, so make sure to put a LITTLE bit of flour on your palms before you begin.

The 8 tsp of Baking Powder is what makes them BLOW UP! LOLOL
