"I adopted this recipe in August 2006 - and I think it looks great. I haven't made it yet, so any feedback would be welcomed. You can make them into large rounds (as they sell them in German bakeries) or make them in the size of a cookie. I usually use my muffin tray. That leaves me with the cookie size but they also keep them in shape, wish I found to be a problem, if I did them on a regular baking tray."
