Being Canadian I never had the original but I'm intrigued. I'm also wondering just how they differ from eccle/eckle's cakes (I know that's a puff pastry [I think], as well as round). Thanks for your thoughts. Nicole, Eccles cakes are a lot thicker/goopier - at least the ones I've had. More a pastry than a cookie. These are very thin, and quite dry. While I'd eat Eccles Cakes with a fork, these can be eaten out of hand, as you would any cookie... PJH
