I'd like to give this a better review, but I had trouble with the dough. Despite adding more flour, it never got firm enough to roll out. It was like a thick quick bread batter. I decided to go ahead a make them like drop cookies, but they came out more like cake drops, and tasted pretty dry, and not sweet at all. The eggwhite was just absorbed into the soft batter, and didn't make the shiny coating on top as expected. The filling adding some moisture and sweetness. I used blackberry and strawberry preserves as well as marshmallow creme. Maybe I messed these up by adding more flour, but without it, the texture was like cake batter. Sorry these didn't work for me.
