- Hatidza: They are very “bready”. Hopefully they’ll taste better when they cool down, but I will probably not make these again. December 27, 2019 11:27 pm
- Kevser: This is the texture you should get, it doesn't change, it may be felt more when they cool down. They can be bizzare to whom haven't grown up with them like lots of traditional flavors:/ January 2, 2020 10:45 am

- Mary: Because I live in a very humid environment, I expected to need the full 7 cups of flour. However, it was very difficult to incorporate even 6 cups of flour in the wet ingredients. It took a lot of kneading to do so. Then, the cookies didn’t rise properly, and the flour taste overpowered the orange. Am I missing something? August 8, 2022 6:09 pm
