This is a great, very basic, and easy pancake recipe. I have this memorized and make it whenever I want to whip up something tasty for breakfast (and it really impresses my friends that I can make pancakes from scratch...little do they know how simple it is!). I love the banana flavor in these, and also enjoy adding in nuts, chocolate chips, or blueberries (although it's also even tasty plain!).

These cookies turned out great, and were a cinch to make! Instead of chopping up baking chocolate, I simply lucked out buying some chocolate baking chips (they were like large chocolate chips). This refrigerated pretty well (which means that it would be quite easy to make the dough ahead of time and then bake them later that night or so when you wish to serve them). The dough was VERY easy to handle, which was great, and made putting the filling in quite easy. The size of the cookies is great, and the chocolate flavor is rich, but not disgustingly overpowering (they're great with a cool glass of milk!). I definitely recommend these cookies and would be pleased to use them again. My friends and family raved about them (my boyfriend even called me up AT WORK to explain how much he loves them, haha!).

I, as well, had to cook the crust for an additional five minutes or so, and I used 3/4 Cup lemon juice (fresh squeezed) as well. The only reason I did not give this five stars is because I had to bake my custard for nearly 45 minutes (I baked it for the 20 as written, then let it sit in the firdge over night, but it was still all liquidly, nearly water-like!). I then baked it for another 14 minutes and it turned out well, but the edges had gotten a bit crusty, so I just cut them away. But after all that the bars turned out fabulously. Although, it did seem like my crust puffed up a bit too much for my liking, I'd prefer a smaller crust, like only 1/6 of an inch, so I shall use less of the crust next time (and there WILL be a next time!).

I only made a couple of changes, but this recipe turned out pretty great as is: I used 1 Cup milk in place of 3/4 Cups water, and I only use a half cup of mini chocolate chips, instead of the full cup, and I omitted the walnuts as well. The cheese cake mixture sunk quite well, but I used a tip from another rating and put a bit of bater on top (although, when I sliced them open, I saw that the cream cheese did a very good job at settling towards th bottom anyhow). My boyfriend, who isn't even a big fan of desserts told me "Wow! You have to make these more often!" Which means that this recipe HAS to be rated 5 stars. :D

I actually only used the cheesecake topping of this recipe (I used my favorite brownie recipe, then just topped it with the cheesecake mixture, and baked) and it turned out super well. I will definitely keep this recipe in mind when looking for a fun way to liven up brownies when I'm bored of the same old thing. It took about 10 minutes longer to cook than the recipe stated for me (perhaps that is the fault of my old oven), and I was suprised that it turned out so well, because with about those 10 left to go I had to leave, so I just turned off the oven and kept it closed, and let the residual heat keep it cooking. They turned out fantastic! I got many compliments on the pairing and many of my friends have told me that this is their favorite thing that I've baked EVER. I was quite happy with this, thanks for sharing the recipe/idea. :)

This recipe was a total hit! Instead of making one large cheesecake I made a few individual ones (by putting them in cupcake tins) and took them to work. My co-workers love cheesecake, but they all proclaimed that this was THE BEST cheesecake they've ever had. Halfway through I ran out of strawberry glaze though, so I used some frozen mixed berries (raspberry, blueberry, and blackberry mix) and that turned out quite well also (some of my co-workers like the mixed berries better!).

Yum! These just came fresh from the oven and they were so tasty! I used raspberry jam and put in some swired chocolate chips (dark chocolate and raspberry swired). They have a slight crips to the outside and are nice and moise on the inside. I can really taste the jam, and that makes them delicious!

Instead of raisins, I just made chocolate oatmeal muffins. My friends loved them. I like that they are healthier and more filling than regular chocolate muffins. They were great with ice cream and fruit for a cakey dessert too!

This recipe was very easy to make. I followed the advice of another poster and floured my hands. With that, I was good to go! I didn't have to add more flour to the recipe, I didn't have to chill, just floured my hands. I also rolled some of the dough individually (didn't mix them together) to make some orange cookies and some chocolate cookies. They were great! So perfectly round, my friends were amazed at the presentation and flavor! Great recipe, will use again! - - - - I made these cookies a second time, but instead of the dark chocolate/orange combination, I did a white chocolate/strawberry combo (substituded white chocolate, and instead of orange zest I put in a few tablespoons of strawberry jam and a few drops of red food coloring). Due to the liquidity of the jam, I did have to add about a half a cup more flour, and this time I refrigerated the dough. They turned out great, I loved that flavor combination!
