Lemon Snowflake Cookies
This cookie tastes like synthetic lemon so I didn't find them very tasty at all. My bf, who really likes lemon, didn't either. They may be quick to make, but I think it's worth it to make something with actual lemon juice or rind in it. Even the smell from the oven wasn't appealing. I used Duncan Hines extra moist lemon cake mix if that makes a difference? I also followed the recipe exactly as there wasn't much I could change. Also, I didn't find the batter too sticky to work with at all. They were quite easy to make.

Sweet Restaurant Slaw
For a person making cole slaw for the first time, this is a pretty safe recipe. I made it last night with success just using 1 large carrot, 1 daikon, and 1 celery root. It's pretty tasty. I would definitely add some broccoli and raisins next time I make it. I think by itself, it's a little on the sweet side and I wouldn't eat very much of it.

Creamiest Rice Pudding
Poorly written directions made tasty and easy by all of the helpful comments. Read the comments before you try this recipe. I used 2% milk in this recipe and thought that 8 cups of milk was a lot at first. It turned out that the ingredients are in good quantities as is. Make sure you start out your milk at *medium/medium high* and get it up to a bit of a *boil* and then turn it back down to simmer at medium-low temperature. If not, your rice won't cook in the hour and you'll need to cook it longer. Pouring some of the rice mixture into the eggs and stirring before adding seemed to work for me (this prevents curdling of the eggs I am guessing). Also, there was a comment about the rice pudding not thickening after being taken off of the stove. *Mine definitely did thicken* and especially it thickened after refrigeration. I will probably cook it slightly less next time and half the recipe. It was way more than two people can eat :|.
