Used regular cream cheese and penne pasta that I had on hand, and then followed the recipe as written. Tasted great. My 2 picky girls devoured it! Will definitely make often. Thanks for the recipe. Quick, easy and delicious. Just the kind of recipes I like!

Made cookies as written except didn't have brandy so used vanilla. They were awesome! They also looked great. I rolled them into balls and then flattened them slightly with a spoon when I put them into the oven as another reviewer suggested. These will definitely go on our favorites list! Thanks for the recipe.

This mac and cheese is awesome!! The only thing I did differently was to add the half cup of milk so my leftovers wouldn't be dry as another reviewer suggested. This is a definite must. I will probably add closer to 3/4 cup of milk next time because leftovers were still a little too dry for my taste. I also added 1/2 cup of monterey jack cheddar blend as well as a 1 inch block of velveta, basically because I had them on hand and figured you can't have too much cheese. My whole famly gobbled it down as a main dish. We served it with fresh from the garden sliced tomatoes and it was perfect. My husband especially like the little bit of crunchy bread crumbs on top. I used about 1/2 cup of those and cut back the butter to 3 Tbsp instead of 4 just to cut down on the grease factor. My first time making baked mac and cheese and this is definitely a keeper! Thanks for the recipe!
