AWESOME!!! Our new favorite biscuits! And so easy to make, too. I didn't have buttermilk, so substituted milk/vinegar and they were still excellent. Highly recommended!

My cookies didn't look NEARLY as nice as any of the photos of this recipe. My first thought when I took the first batch out of the oven was that I was going to give it a bad review because they looked so...well...not pretty! But as soon as I tasted them I knew it was a 5 star recipe!!!!! I think these might be the best cookies I've ever made! I skipped the glaze (too much trouble) and discovered that by NO stretch of the imagination could you get 36 cookies if you rolled the dough into 1 1/2 inch balls. AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN. BUT.... I got about 20 cookies from the recipe (dough rolled into 1+ inch balls) and they are so good that I'm not complaining. I'll definitely make this again! FABULOUS!!!!!!!! (I'd give it more than 5 stars if that was an option!)

This was *THE* most gorgeous dessert I've ever personally made. It came out looking like I had spent a gazillion dollars on it at some fancy bakery -- well, until I tried to cut through the crunchy apples!!!! I WISH I had seen the review that suggested to cook them first, because they DEFINITELY need it!!! Also, I think two medium/largish apples would be plenty. Six is WAY too many apples -- and I only used 4 biggish ones, and that was too many. I will definitely try this again, but I think I might try it with my home canned peaches, or maybe pears, next time. It was absolutely delicious -- just very hard to cut because of the apples. If I do the apples again, I know a lot more about how I would do it this time! The bottom crust and the cream cheese part was to die for!!!!! (***UPDATE*** I made this a second time with pears -- two cans canned pear halves, I sliced them -- and it was WAAAAAAAAAAAY better than with apples! I've revised my version of the recipe to be PEAR Bavarian Torte. Try the pears, you'll be delighted!!!)
