These were good, but not enough to make again. I also had to bake mine for 19 minutes.

This is just like my Bubbe's recipe and I have used this Wayne's for years. The print out is easier to read than the card she wrote out for me many years ago. I also make some with mini dark chocolate chips and some with raisins. I also sprinkle a little bit of the cinnamon sugar over the egg wash. Two years ago I made 36 dozen for my grandson's Bris and now all the family wants them every time a baby boy is born in the family!
