I found the original recipe too bland. The second time I doubled the vanilla & lemon extracts and it was perfect- moist, perfect density, fine crumb, lovely! Made it again last night and added 3 tablespoons of key lime juice in addition to the extracts and it was awesome- fresh lime flavor, tangy, with still that PERFECT texture. Great basic recipe to play with and very pleased with the results.

Best Big, Fat, Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie

Reviewed: Dec. 9, 2010

DO NOT OVER-BAKE THESE! They will not look quite done, but trust me, pull them out anyways. The carry-over cooking from leaving them on the tray will take care of it and they will be delicious!

Fabulous! Also works with sour cream thinned with milk if you don't have buttermilk.

The Best Meatballs

Reviewed: Jul. 15, 2010

I wanted \to do 4 and a half stars but it won't let me! Okay, disclaimer: I did not use the ground pork, which I think would have made these 5 stars, but my husband hates the stuff. HOWEVER, these were nice, easy to make, lovely texture even without the pork, and very flavorful. I baked mine in the oven, took about 30 minutes at 325F. Will definitely make these again, maybe try ground lamb in place of the pork.

Italian Rice Balls

Reviewed: Apr. 8, 2010

So I played around with this a bit, & have a few suggestions. First off do NOT use parboiled rice (aka Uncle Ben's). You're just asking for a headache. I would recommend sushi rice, arborio, or even brown rice which is very sticky. Secondly, if you want to add flavor because a lot of people have said it's bland, I would recommend cooking the rice in chicken stock instead of water & using seasoned breadcrumbs. If your rice comes out not sticky this is a very easy recipe to "save". Add a little extra cheese & 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs into the rice mixture. I pan fried mine instead of deep-frying, definitely would not recommend baking them though.

Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: May 12, 2009

I'm at lost for words to describe how odd these cookies were. They looked beautiful, but tasted ... powdery. The texture was wonderful, but I just couldn't get around the overwhelming taste of baking soda or pudding mix or something... I used all the same ingredients to bake other types of cookies that night and they all came out wonderful. Just these were weird.
