Use a smaller springform than the 10" indicated in the recipe, which might also bring the baking time up to 35 minutes. I'd recommend a layer of parchment paper since the bay leaves easily move and if any part of the cheese cake is brown it sticks. The taste was okay; even with half the bay leaves (mine are really strong), their flavor overwhelmed the delicate orange and honey flavors, which had made the batter taste so promising. Far from being a disaster, but not a repeat recipe for me.

This is a cake-y, moist cookie with a delicate honey taste (used a mild, clover honey) - not very sweet. I cut a large apple just smaller than chocolate chip size, and there was barely enough dough to bind everything together. The addition of ground cloves, ginger, and nutmeg to my second batch was nice. My cookies were just over 1 Tbsp. big, yielding 3 dozen, and baked in about 8 minutes. The kitchen smelled so good! On an absolute scale of cookies, it's a 3 1/2 star recipe (I'd like cookies to be crisper and more caramelized). As a healthy, naturally sweetened snack, it's really yummy.

A fresh take on tuna salad! I used a little finely chopped onion instead of the onion flakes and added spices to taste. Worth making again.
