Just made them. They didn't look even close to as good as yours, but they tasted delicious! Even my dad, who doesn't like sweets, thought they were good. Nice job!

the instructions say baking soda, but the images show baking powder. which is it?

Sorry it is actually baking soda. The baking soda needs to go with the Cream of Tartar to react.
thanks,
Michael
