4 out of 5 stars only because of the need to reduce butter. I also switched all white sugar for half white and half brown & then halved the recipe and happily have more than enough cookies! For those of us who like sweet things, but still find many sweet desserts a bit "too much" the addition of the mint balances these out quite nicely. Watch for over-cooking, one batch of mine I inadvertently over-did just a hair and the bitterness of the slight burn on the bottom is underscored by the slight bitterness of the chocolate making it worse, so def. watch these -- they're well worth it when they come out right!

Pretty good approximation of the "healthy" breakfast cookies popular in coffeechops these days. But, um, "sugar-free"? Seriously? There's molasses in there. Molasses = mostly sugar, by calories. I love the stuff and am not afraid of a little sugar, though, so totally leaving that in & instead replacing the Splenda (I distrust synthetic sweeteners more than I fear calories from sugar) with a bit of white sugar.

Ridiculously simple and easy -- especially great when making a multi-dish meal with more complicated sides. I took the advice of reviewers and replaced garlic salt with garlic powder. I actually also replaced most of the seasonings (all but garlic powder and thyme) with my accidentally-nuclear-hot homemade chili powder, as this mimicked a lot of the same ingredients and proportions and was already mixed up. (And, I just wanted to use it up -- it's been the culprit in one inedibly-hot vegetarian chili incident already.) Cooked the fish for about 16-18 minutes and was done perfectly in my oven. Going the fork-flake route for done-ness testing was more useful than the time recommendation for me. (Often the case for fish, regardless of what random rental oven I am working with at the time.) Next time I might add a dash of lime before serving. Still, this is a great fast-and-easy fish recipe that will impress your guests, probably even without my half-random modifications. Definitely give this one shot!
