They were excellent. I purchased Baker's Ammonium to try out for fun, these cookies made it totally worth wild. 1 batch goes a long way. They are light and delicious. Only downside is the Ammonium which make it's presents known while baking but disappears cooked. five stars

These cookies have been a traditional Christmas cookie in our family for generations. My mom and grandma both made them. My kids love them and so do I! The only problem I have is that it's hard to get the ammonium carbonate - I have to order it from the pharmacy. They are supposed to be very crumbly - it's the leavening agent that does that. I've tried making them with baking soda and baking powder, but they don't turn out right. four stars

I loved the tast of these Princess Gems, however some seemd very "crumbly" and hard to eat without getting crumbs all over. I will make them again, perhaps mixing longer and see if that improves this part. four stars
