these had a good taste (i did add a little cinnamon) but mine had a hard time staying together once baked.. esp the first batch so i would let the dough stand for a half hour or so. good flavor and i liked that they had wheat germ in them. i used a spoon to measure mine so they may have been smaller than the recipe suggests but they were cooked in 9 min. of course leaving them on the pan for a while or they would have really mashed together. yummy.
