Quality!- would
make it again. "I love anything with a lot of spice
(sweet, not hot). These were terrific. They were not easy to
roll as I think I left them in the fridge a tad too long, but I just let
the dough warm up a bit and then they were fine. I baked them
about 8 minutes. The family loved them. Perfect as a dunker
with coffee or tea!"
