I don't understand the 5-star reviews most users gave this cookie; they are not that good at all! The amount of sugar makes them sweet enough, but they really lack flavor! I didn't even enjoy eating the dough, and that's pretty much unheard of for me. The only flavor is from the chocolate chips...I doubt I'd make this cookie again, but if I did, I'd try something other than just cocoa powder. On top of that, I couldn't get the cooking time right...8 minutes they definitely were not done, 10 and they appeared done but wouldn't come off the cookie sheet without crumbling, 12 and they got a bit burnt. Of course, they are edible, but I think I'd be embarrassed to put them out saying I made them. Very attractive cookie, though.

This is my basic everyday pancake recipe, and it's pretty good. A lot of times I'll make variations, like using 1/2 cup whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup regular flour, but I've found it works the best if you follow the recipe exactly (with a touch of vanilla, of course).

These scones tasted alright, but there's absolutely no possible way you can knead them like how the recipe suggests! The dough is much too sticky for that, and when I added all of the three cups of flour to mine, the mixture got almost rubber-like and even more impossible to work with. I ended up dropping them on cookie sheets (which wasn't easy, either) with blueberries in them. Many people mistook them for chocolate chip cookies by their appearance. This was my first and last time trying to make scones.
