I loved these right out of the oven - yummy! I had to stop myself from eating more since I made these for the kid's after school snack. To my surprise they did not like them as much as I did but they thought they were ok. That's fine though, all the more for me. Next time, I will double the recipe and add a bit of garlic to half the batch. As suggested by another reviewer, definitely need to drain on paper towels. Thx Karen for the delicious and simple snack.

I really enjoyed this light crisp snack. I took these to a small gathering and everyone liked it. I do recommend 2 things.
1) Make a double batch 
2) Drain the pennies on paper towels after baking.

these are very easy and very delicious. i used more chilli powder than what is called for, and i'm so glad i did, cause i just love spicy stuff. i baked them for 18 minutes, as i prefer crispier results. thanks, karen for the wonderful recipe! my bf loves these, he doesn't really have a sweet tooth, the weirdo!

Excellent and very tasty! Very beautiful as well! I didnīt have cheddar and decided to use 10 tablespoon of grated parmesan instead. I added a couple of tablespoon of cold water to compensate the lack of moisture, and I got very nice golden little cookies! I didnīt use any baking sheet either, I just put the rounds in a non greased baking tray and they came out fine. Thanks for posting!!
