I just tried them today for a fall preview and did 2 batches. The 1st came out hard like rocks! I kept them in there 2 min longer than the 22 min it recommended. So I made another batch at 20 min (since at 18 min they seemed doughy in the center) and they still came out harder than I would have liked but tasted good anyways. So next time I will do it for the min 18min and hope they harden as they cool.
They did not at all look like the recipe cards pics though, on either of them! My batter was like cookie dough the first time and runnier the 2nd time but again neither of the batches looked like the picture.
I just don't know?
