Made these to take as one of my potluck items for NYE. Used gluten free AP flour and topped with dark chocolate chips before baking. They have a delicious cake like texture. I loved the addition of the ACV to take the edge off of the sugar. Found this post through FoodGawker. Thanks for sharing and happy 2014!
Thank you, Susan! Happy 2014!
Made these according to recipe and had to throw away. .terrible
Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that. This recipe worked fine for me. I made it a few times and it was fine each time. You must have done something wrong.
Not sure what to add but I followed the instructions as written.
Loved this!!
