Best Brownies
DELICIOUS! I unfortunately have a gas oven which makes regulating exact temperstures for baking impossible, so I tend to burn anything with chocolate in it. Apprehensive though I was, these came out chewy, crisp around the edges and absolutely perfect, not cakey at all. I added 3 tsp of instant coffee to add a cappuccino flavour and and 1 tsp of peanut butter to the frosting to make it a little creamier. The girls at dinner last night ate a whole plate, and my husband asked me to bake a batch for his buddies while they watch the big football match this week. Not typical "guy" food, but whatever!

Quick and Easy Cheese Bread
I took this out of the oven about 1/2 an hour ago and have been waiting patiently for it to settle, it smells so good!! I followed other reviewers advice and increased milk to 1 cup, decreased sugar to 2 tbs, added 1 tbs garlic powder and 1 tbs onion powder, some chopped green onions, and 2 tbs Italian seasoning (the same one I use in pasta sauce recipes), and sprinkled some cheese on top for the last 10 mins of baking time. I also had to turn the heat way down for the last 10 mins or so, as the outside had a beautiful crust, but the inside was still mushy. Came out beautifully! Savory and cheesy, with a crisp thick crust and soft delicious inside. I agree that it's not the best "bread" recipe ever, but an excellent quick and hearty accompaniment bread. We'll have this with a light chicken salad for dinner tonight. Thanks for the basic recipe, I'm sure you could do all sorts of variations with this recipe, next time I think I'll try parmesean, basil and sundried tomatoes!

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies
I followed a previous review and baked the first 4 cookies using only 2 1/4 cups flour for the whole batch, and they came out delicious, but they spread quite a bit. I put another 1/2 cup in the rest of the batter and and they were DELICIOUS! Gotta say, a new fav in my recipe Box! I have always had a tough time making cookies, but these were simple, quick and FANTASTIC! Hubby taking a whole bunch to the office tomorrow or I will eat them ALL!
