Step 5: Mix well and refrigerate overnight. the dough is VERY soft and you need it to be cold to even work with it ,it does rise in frig very well. I always use gluten in my baking .

Step 7: Place on a cookie sheet (It doesn't say to make a crescent shape but I think you do here).and you need LARGE COOKIE SHEET. as you see from pictures they rose and spread like crazy.
Step 8: Let rise 1 hour. (IT DID NOT TAKE AN HOUR FOR ME TO GET DOUBLED ).
Step 9: Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 10: Ice with powdered sugar frosting, warm or cold.
