This is a great jumping off point for chocolate chip cookies. I followed one of the suggestions for adding cream of tartar, and my cookies did look extremely appetizing and perfectly baked. I've never been able to achieve such cosmetic cookies before! I felt as though there was still something missing from the flavor, so I'm going to experiment the next time. Maybe some orange peel?

Perfect as is, and deceptively simple. They look so pretty, you don't even want to eat them! Note: you don't need a mini muffin tin. I had a regular muffin tin, and it came out fine. I imagine the mini muffin tin just might make them look different.

This was incredible! I used exactly what the recipe called for, but decided to double the sauce ingredients minus the plums (read in a previous review). The balsamic gave the sauce a wonderful bite, and kept it from being overwhelmingly sweet. I did not add the optional blueberry juice, but I would have if I had it. It's also a nice choice because it's not too labor intensive: once the pork goes into the oven, it doesn't take very long for the sauce to reduce properly. All in all, an deceptively simple meal that yields the look and taste of a restaurant quality dish!
