A five star rating to me is one that needs no tweaking of a recipe. I had to add an additional 3/4 cup of sugar. The one cup just makes it way to tart! I must admit that I did receive more compliments one this recipe than on my usual which doesn't include the orange juice. After the addition of the sugar, it was very good!

If I could have given this recipe a million stars I would have!! By far the best cookie recipe ever! I added chocolate chips and thought I would die of pure ecstasy right there on the spot! Believe me, you want to try this recipe!

A true 5 star recipe is one you do not have to tweak in several areas. It is not just a matter of taste, but does the recipe correctly instruct you toward perfectly proporioned ingredients that gives you a truly delicious dish. This one DEFINITELY does not do that. I had a soggy mess! I tried to pour the excess liquid off just to lose the shape of my bread. It was so soggy the bread could not hold together and some of it fell into the sink along with the excess mixture. You will get no crispness from the bread if you pour the brown sugar mixture over the top at the beginning. I baked it for 20 minutes and then added the brown sugar mixture. I am totally disappointed in this recipe. I spent in excess of 30.00 on this just to find neither my husband nor I liked it! If I had wanted bread pudding for breakfast, which is what it was somewhat like, I would have looked up bread pudding. Whoever heard of eating bread pudding for breakfast anyway?? Make at your own risk is all I can say!
