Agree with Happygoin - I, too, thought of overbaking. Another suggestion to prevent that - get an oven thermometer and set your oven according to that, not according to the dial Last, overbeating the mix may be a source of dryness. As with any recipe whose rise is coming from baking powder, it's best to mix quickly, even if not totally, pour immediately into baking pan, then place in oven.

Perhaps your oven runs hot. Try taking them out of the oven a couple of minutes sooner.
