FYI: When you cook these, they will end up like little puddles of sloppy dough- let them sit for 1-2 mins before scooping them off. Do not let them sit for more than 1-2 mins, otherwise they will harden and will not be rolled. They rarely scoop off in perfect circles- just wad them together in the powdered sugar.
