For those of you complaining about the amount of baking soda --- this recipe does NOT call for baking soda! It calls for Baking Powder.  No wonder they didn't turn out right.  That being said..I would like to recommend a baking powder that does not have "sodium aluminum sulfate" they have a far superior taste when the ingredient listed above is not in the baking powder. Here is the name of the brand I use: RUMFORD Baking Powder (I find it at my local grocery store in the baking isle and it has a red lable). Also,my family loves this recipe...when we have it we also add 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp. Pure vanilla extract.
