I was profoundly disappointed with this recipe after reading all of the wonderful reviews. I followed it precisely as written and it was bland at best. The only redeeming factor was the blueberry sauce which was too sweet...and we love sugar at our house. I would not make this again.

These cookies really are fantastic! I'm known for my culinary skills, so I'm always cautious when trying other recipes. This one helped me keep that reputation! One comment was, "They taste like the cookies you pay a few dollars (each) for in the mall!" They do have a "mild" peanut butter taste so it's great when you bite into one of the peanut butter cup pieces. I did adapt it a little by omitting the cocoa and I used MILK chocolate CHUNKS instead of semi-sweet chocolate CHIPS. Thanks! :o)

I always thought I made a great minestrone...now with some of the additional ingredients found in this recipe, it is simply PERFECT! The only significant change I made to this recipe was omitting the tomato sauce. I used 1 16 oz can of diced tomatoes instead. I then had to increase the wine and broth. I highly recommend this recipe! Thanks Jamie!
