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.

Made, but substituted impromptu gluten-free combo of flours (coconut flour, oat flour, potato starch) for the matzo meal. Flavor was delicious, but the cookies fell apart. The crumbles were excellent over ice cream, though!

If you’re using gluten free flours, adding xanthan gum would help with the crumble factor (for cookies, usually 1/4 teaspoon per cup of gf flour). However, I don’t know if xanthan is considered kosher.
