  1. These cookies are wonderful! I used all white flour in mine, and they still turned out great. The cookies are definitely very light and fluffy. The insides are more muffin-like in texture, but the outsides retain their cookie chewiness. They are very cute cookies that puff up into little domes. This is a great recipe, and I will be making it again. Thanks!
     
  2. mmmm...right out of the oven so melty and delicious! i agree with machineangel that they are more scone-like than a cookie because of the texture and not being very sweet. the chocolate chips make it. very good, thank you for posting :)
     
  3. These have a wonderful flavour and as the name suggests are "fluffy" and light in texture. My mixture was rather firm so I rolled into balls and flattened before baking. They were given the thumbs up all round, thanks for sharing.
     
  4. I didn't have cloves or chocolate chips, so I just used two fresh oranges (juice and rinds). They turned out really well. As far as taste and texture, they're more like scones or biscuits, light and fluffy but not super sweet. Really good with a little bit of orange marmalade.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hi! Thanks for visiting my page! I just graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Human Nutritional Sciences in May 2008 after 5 years of hard work. My hard work paid off as I was accepted to a post graduate dietetic internship which I am currently completing and will be done in June. The internship allows me achieve professional designation as a registered dietitian. This is a very exciting but also a very busy time for me so I have not been contributing to zaar nearly as much as i'd like to. I have always loved baking and cooking and looking for healthier recipes or ways to make recipes healthier to fit into my lifestyle. I am pesco-vegetarian as I do not want animals to suffer for my consumption. I also love to be active in individual sports and train year round for triathlon. I am both an active racer and volunteer. The distance I prefer most is the Sprint distance - 750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run. This upcoming race season marks my 16th year of participating in triathlon. I love it just as much, if not more, than I did 16 years ago!! I also have a newfound love for Iyengar yoga. I have a profound love for animals and the pretty little kitty you see as my icon is my 16 1/2 year old cat Snuggles. Sadly, Snug passed away in March 2006, and is dearly, dearly missed.
