It did help. And I tried three different sets and I think taking them out earliest was best. The boys ate them up, so that's good. I also added a splash of milk (?? randomly) because it seemed too dry but then it seemed to soupy on the baking sheet, but it didn't really make it any worse. They're all gone, that's all that matters. :) And they were a Limited Edition product so I doubt I'll see them again in the stores. I'll consider it a success and move on!
