  1. melt in mouth recipe and easy to make, warning they don't last long : ) !
     
  2. I made these for the first time and substituted the water with 2 tablesoons of milk and the flour with whole wheat flour and added raisens & cranberries. The consistency was perfect-crisp on the outside and remained soft/chewy within. I would probably lower the oven temp to 325 next time.
     
  3. I've made these a few time since the original review and wanted to change the rating. They are a very tasty cookie and I think pretty unique!
     
  4. It was pretty easy to make, but I only got 15 cookies. I cooked the cookies for ten minutes because my husband and I like softer cookies. The cookies are really good warm right out of the oven. The first pan I put in was a little runny, but I noticed the second pan (after sitting for ten minutes waiting for the oven) had a much thicker consistency. I'll probably make them again, but double the batch and let sit in the bowl ten minutes before baking.
     
  5. Like Marlene, I didn't get the amount of cookies called for. My family prefers a softer cookie, will soak my raisins next time. I added about a 1/3 cup of mixed nuts that I chopped. Also I greased cookie sheet, out of habit and the cookies don't spread so can put close together.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all. Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
