The dough rolls out and cuts well and bakes nicely. They hold their shape nicely. However, they have a very dry texture. Make sure you have a glass of milk handy when you eat these. Not sure I'll make these again. Not moist at all.......

I'm wondering how this will work with high altitude cooking?
