Wow. Well, these are tasty, but the recipe VASTLY underestimates how many it makes. I was baking for my job in a cafe and wanted 24 servings rather than 6, so I quadrupled the recipe - used 4 c pb, 4 c sugar, 4 eggs, and 4 tsp vanilla - and because "rounded teaspoons" seemed way too tiny to me, I used rounded *tablespoonfuls.* I expected that it would make the suggested yield of four dozen (or 24 servings) in this case, or less because I used tablespoons instead of teaspoons, but you know what? It made SEVEN (count 'em, 7!) dozen cookies! The extras might have been nice if I'd just made one batch at home or something, but it was a total pain to scoop, roll, and fork down seven dozen cookies. So just know that even if you make bigger cookies than the recipe suggests, expect more than it says to expect!!

Made this tonight for boyfriend and a guest - was delicious and pretty healthy. I used more like 1/4 cup of garlic (in my opinion, you can never have too much garlic, and once I mixed it in with everything else, it didn't seem like too much), used Trader Joes' Papardelle pasta instead of rice, and added in chopped fresh parsley at the end (that's important - it would have been much more bland looking and tasting without that). It was great - I think next time I'll mix in a little heavy cream in the end to liven up the pasta and give it a creamier flavor. But all in all - delicious!!

This was strikingly easy to make, and very good, too. My boyfriend says that Napoleons are his favorite dessert and requested that I make them for his birthday instead of cake, so I prepared this recipe (albeit with a little nervousness, as it had no reviews yet). It was quick, easy, and he LOVED it. I thought it was just okay, but according to him, it tastes just like the Napoleons he had as a kid in downtown NYC and totally brought him back. So, thanks for helping me make my man so happy on his birthday! ;) Oh - also - I used chocolate syrup, like the kind you put on ice cream, on the top rather than baking chocolate because we already had the syrup at home and I didn't want to spend the extra $4 - it worked just perfectly.
