These really have a fantastic flavour and are super-easy to make. Unlike other reviewers, I did not find the dough overly oily. However I did make the mistake of following one reviewer's advice and adding more flour, because I didn't have time to chill the dough. The cookies turned out cakier than I think they would otherwise have, and they were not as pretty because the edges cracked. Followed exactly, I am sure I would have had the same pretty cookies as in the picture. I should also have looked for a different spool. The one I used made it look like my cookies had the symbol for radioactivity on them! Ha!

This was super fast and easy to toss together and they turned out great! I used semi-sweet squares, so reduced the sugar to 1 and 1/2 cups, which turned out just great - not too sweet. Based on another reviewer, added a pinch of salt. Also used margarine instead of real butter. Unlike others who have complained about them being tough to get out of the pan -- mine were just fine - no crumbling or stickiness. Used vegetable spray to coat the pan prior to putting the batter in. Ran a knife around the edges when they came out, then let cool about 20 minutes in the pan on a rack before slicing. They came away perfectly. We didn't add the nuts but those would have been great too. The kids loved these!

Good basic recipe but I think the high ratings are coming from people's own tweaks to this recipe, and not the recipe itself. I used the recipe as a jump-off point as I realized as made it was not to our taste. We like it a bit sweeter, with a little salty and lots more curry. Used a whole can of coconut milk instead as the amount of shrimp (and we also used scallops too) wants it, especially if you want some over rice. We used extra red bell peppers, and some snow peas. I used 2 tbsp at least of curry, and probably about 3/4 tsp salt, and at least twice the sugar the recipe calls for. With the tweaks it was delicious! My rating is for the recipe as is. As is, it was too quiet and bland without enough complexity.
