coolmom100 Ratings & Reviews 14 The Original Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake 07/08/2024 Makes a super soft, cakey cookie bar. Because i have been baking chocolate chip cookies for decades, I knew it wouldn’t be the texture I like for cookies (I prefer chewy), but I was super curious to see how they turned out because it is the Tollhouse cookie recipe with extra eggs. These are puffy and light. Cutting into 24 is too large a piece for us. I ended up cutting into 60 for snack purposes. But this could be served on a plate ala mode for a celebration. When i have made cookie “cakes” for birthdays, I have just made my regular batch and baked half on a pizza pan with a lip. This is a fun variation though. Make sure to mix eggs in well. I baked 25 mins to be sure it would be set in the middle. Any longer would have been too long. If someone wants a chocolate chip cookie cake again, this is what i will bake and maybe drizzle with melted chocolate chips.

These buckeyes were #1. If I can make nothing else, buckeyes are a must have. They are so good. I made the crumbs in the food processor and then added the other ingredients. I used natural peanut butter and they seemed too soft, but after dipping they were actually pretty amazing. I will probably use natural peanut butter again because they are a sort of soft bite inside the semi hardened chocolate shell.

Nothing bad to say and no changes. I would say though, you can not turn your back on sugar on the heat. Just a teeny bit of patience will pay off. I can't wait to make them again this year.

We could tell there was a spice added but it was very subtle. I may try again and add more cardamom. Also, I didn’t have pearl sugar and didn’t want to wait so I possibly went overboard sprinkling with granulated sugar! Hahaha. Pearl sugar is on the list for next time. Good recipe Helpful (0) Mexican Brownies 12/14/2020 Amazing! Better the second day. If I were to make any changes, it would be slightly less cinnamon. But everyone loves these luscious, deep chocolate, slightly spicy, dense brownies. I have been looking for this recipe for a long time. It is very similar to ones my mom used to make. So excited to find! Helpful (0) Middle Eastern Rice with Black Beans and Chickpeas 03/31/2013 5 stars because it was delicious and all my kids ate it up! I wanted didn't want to use meat, so I left out the turkey, but I am definitely making this again! Helpful (1) Chicken and Gnocchi Soup 06/27/2012 Made exactly according to recipe and it was a hit, even with all that spinach. Beautiful to the eye and the palate. Had requests to make it again. It's easy enough that I probably will. Delicious! Helpful (1) Spiced Quinoa 06/19/2012 5 stars because nearly everyone in my family ate this healthy, meat-free dish without complaint. I liked it a lot. The quinoa took longer to cook than I thought it would but the longer cook time seemed to take away some of the bitter flavor I find in quinoa. I am new to cooking with quinoa although I have eaten it cooked by other people. No pine nuts in the house, and I almost left out the raisins, but the other reviews persuaded me to use them. It was a nice balance of flavors. Eaten by kids ages 12-17. Healthy, truly kid-friendly food is key for me. If the kids won't eat it, I don't want to make it. I will definitely make this again. Helpful (1) Snowflake Spritz Cookies 12/27/2011 SO much better than the recipe that came with my cookie press. They are still yummy the next day and maybe even better. I have been looking for a recipe that would produce cookies that tasted like the ones a former neighbor gave us. I followed this recipe to the letter. It makes a very flavorful cookie but the flavors are not overpowering, just delicious! Not your plain butter cookie! Helpful (6) Syracuse Salt Potatoes 11/23/2010 The best potatoes I have ever had! Quick, creamy and dangerously delicious! If you are trying to stick to a low carb diet, do not...DO NOT try these potatoes. You will be hooked! Helpful (1) Mint Chicken 11/05/2010 So good and different than the usual. I am blessed with a large patch of mint so it was fun to have a main dish that used a good bit of mint. The mint was not overpowering though I think I may have over done the lemon juice. Still, everyone from age 7 to 43 snarfed this down! We served it with brown rice and stirfried baby bok choy and snap peas. It was a beautiful presentation. Helpful (1) Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup 02/02/2010 We all loved this, even the kids (ages 6,9,14). I crushed tortilla chips into my bowl because I was not up to making them from scratch. Maybe next time. There will definitely be a next time! I used green enchilada sauce because we love it but next time I will try the red sauce and see if we still like this soup. Helpful (1) Load More
