Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 23, 2009

I am in the process of trying to find the best CC cookie recipe. I cooked these two days ago and they were very soft on the inside, YUM- actually pretty addictive to where you have a hard time not going back for more. Absolutely delicious. Yesterday I pulled out a mrs. fields recipe - the one with oatmeal and NO comparison- these where hands down the best. My next experiment is with the Neiman Marcus recipe (it's an urban legand that the NM and Mrs. Field recipe are one in the same). After I test it out, I'll come back and comment. I'm guessing this recipe will win my mini contest. One tip is to push the cookies down with the back of a spoon before you put them in the fridge which I did for 15 minutes. Also everyone is a fan of my doing half half choc chips to pp chips.

French Toast Bake

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2009

If you are going to make this read this review. I tested this recipe before making it for an event. Here is what I found: I bought artisans bread and left it out for 3 days uncovered. When I make the recipe I added an 1/8 c of brown sugar to the main recipe, I also added the same amount of cinnamon as the nutmeg that is listed in the recipe. I tested out cubing the bread vs. tearing the bread and both came out the same. AND I ended up cooking it for 50 minutes instead. Oh - to save a step I threw in frozen berries at the beginning instead of making this a two step process. The result? Well a 5 year old said - YUMMY and i was told I should open a restaurant- all in all I think these changes worked out VERY well. One more thing- when I took the pan out in the morning I turned the bread so the egg was also on top and it did not come out soggy at all.
