After reading other reviews I substituted vanilla yogurt and a touch of olive oil at the end instead of the vegetable oil, also added honey and walnuts to taste. I topped these with lowfat carmel apple dip after baking instead of traditional icing to entice my teenager and she loved them! Thanks for the recipe.

After reading other reviews I made several alterations to this so I could use up the leftover blueberries we had on hand. I used less milk (a splash or 2 at most), vanilla extract instead of almond flavoring, added walnuts and chocolate chips and used an 8" x 11.5" x 2" glass baking pan. I also froze the batter for an hour before baking and sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon when removed from the oven. Turned out great as a substitute for muffins/cookies. Would make again but the title should be changed from cookies to muffins as the texture is not like any chocolate chip cookie I've had. Thanks for the base recipe.

Like others after reading the reviews I decided to do this in the slow cooker. I added celery and red onion and about 1/3 cup of apple juice to remove the pan drippings after browing the chops. I also added the apples on top of all other ingredients after they had been in an hour, this helped keep them from becoming to mushy...My husband raved about this and he is usually pesimistic about new recipes. Thanks for a good recipe.
