Soft Sugar Cookies IV

Reviewed on Jun. 18, 2009 by Cara M. 
These were good. I made half of the recipe and still came out with 20+ cookies that were a good size. I had to bake mine about 14 min and still weren't brown on bottom. I also would suggest spraying your pan with a non-stick spray. I thought there was a bit too much salt, will reduce next time. These don't spread much, you can place them fairly close.

Tomato-Cream Sauce for Pasta

Reviewed on Jun. 18, 2009 by Cara M. 
This was really easy and so cheap to make! One recipe makes enough for 8 oz dry pasta, double it for a whole lb. Like others, I pureed my sauce to make it smooth, but is also really good "chunky". I used half and half instead of cream (because that's what I had). This sauce is also awesome as a base for a baked ziti - just sub ricotta for the cream, top with cheese and bake! Here's a tip: if you want to skip the pureeing step but like a smooth sauce, start out with a can of crushed tomatoes instead of diced.

Molten Chocolate Cakes With Sugar-Coated Raspberries

Reviewed on May 26, 2009 by Cara M. 
For me, these were just "OK". I made in a muffin tin (standard size, made 12) and some had the molten center and some did not but all tasted very eggy and spongy and also lacking in flavor (and I used good chocolate). My 6 year old DD loved them though and DH said they were good - but not as good as the ones we get out. I think I'll save this dessert for an occasional treat when we eat out. Was worth a try though!
