Delicious! Here's my substitutions - I didn't have bread flour, so used regular AP and just kneaded it longer in my stand mixer so it would produce more gluten, making them chewier. I use bread machine yeast, from a jar, so just use 2 tsp instead of the packet, and reduce the rise time by 1/2. Another reviewer said to use parchment paper...big mistake. I had to remove little bits of paper from the finished pretzels. The cooking spray the next time did the trick and they slid off smooth and easy. Oh, and the 2nd time I doubled the brown sugar, and liked the flavor even more. The almost-sweet & salty was irresistable. Thanks for a great recipe! Even my 14 yr old stepson wanted to help!

This recipe is a copycat of a great sandwich I used to get at Penn Station all the time. I got SO TIRED of paying 10 dollars for a (delicious!) sandwich and decided to learn to make it myself. The Penn Station version uses melted provolone instead of parmesan, which you are welcome to do, but the parmesan adds more flavor than the provolone without the added fat! Also, feel free to add mayo as you like. I think it has plenty of goodness without!

I solve the melting problem by forming the balls, placing them on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper, and chilling them in the freezer for a few minutes before I dip them in the chocolate. There's really no way around it, though, you will have to work quickly in the chocolate and it takes a little practice before it gets easy.

The pecan crunch coating was great, the salmon was great, but not together. I think the coating would have paired well with pork or chicken, but the salmon was an extremely odd flavor combo. I'll stick to citrus next time. Thanks for the recipe, though, I'll use the coating.

Although these took a little more effort than I expected, they were VERY good. Choc Cov Cherries are one of my husbands' favorites, and about a week after he ate some of these I didn't feel like making them again so I bought him a box. Big mistake. The boxed ones fall so flat against these, especially if you use good chocolate. One thing - make sure you use a VERY THIN coating of the sugar dough, if it's too thick it won't soften enough, and I did keep mine in the fridge. Thanks for the recipe!

This recipe has become a family favorite with a few changes and a couple of chortcuts. I use 1 zucchini, 1 package of frozen peppers and onions blend (I found these at Kroger and use them for everything) and 1 small package of sliced, fresh mushrooms, and some frozen corn. I also use the Mrs Dash garlic and onion blend to season the veggies. I cook the frozen veggies and zucchini first, then add mushrooms and seasoning. The best cheese to use for this is called quesadilla cheese. It's got great flavor and melts well. Even the kids love these.

These are the best sugar cookies I've ever had! I made them for Easter and they stayed soft until they were all gone! The dough is hard to work with, so I put it in the freezer for a couple of hours and rolles it between waxed paper while frozen. The effort was well worth it, however, because they had an excellent flavor and texture. I will definitely make these again.
