My first two batches didn’t rise, so I put the rest of the batter in a cake tin. These make great brownies!
My cookies did not rise at all. I thought that perhaps I didn't put in the baking powder, so I added baking powder to next batch which were also flat. However the cookies are delicious!
These cookies tasted good, but they stayed too moist and fell apart after baking the suggested 15 minutes. I decided to freeze them and see if they improve in consistency.
