I made this using a mix of heavy cream and 1% milk. But the best change was the cayenne. While cooking the cocoa and sugar, I sprinkled about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne into that syrup. Perfectly rich cocoa with a zingy bite that lingers on the tongue after swallowing. That's probably why I didn't mind the amount of sugar as shown.

Raspberry Almond Coffeecake

Reviewed: Sep. 27, 2004

I've made this now with fresh raspberries, fresh blueberries, fresh pitted tart cherries, and apple slices. Each time I followed the recipe exactly except the apple one - in that I coated the apples in sugar and apple pie spice as if for an apple pie filling, then drizzled with melted cinnamon chips. No matter how I've made it, it's still fantastic.

Minnesota Mail Carrier Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2001

I'm doing my holiday baking and my mom just reminded me on the phone, "Don't forget that mailman cookie!" This recipe is really easy to make and very tasty. It's a great cookie for people who don't like chocolate or are just plain tired of it. A nice flavorful change from the standard holiday cookies.

Oatmeal Date Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2001

As I'm getting ready to make a triple batch of this for Christmas, I figured I ought to rate it! I downloaded this a couple years ago, and have been using it ever since. My mom doesn't want any other kind of cookie! She doesn't like chocolate so it makes it hard to find something she likes. The recipe is very easy to make, the cookies freeze well. And they are very, very tasty! The dates make it a nicer cookie than raisins, which can be a little tart or bitter sometimes. Great just out of the oven or a couple days later, these are a permanent addition to my recipe box.

Dora's Christmas Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2001

I downloaded this recipe over two years ago, and it's still the only sugar cookie I want to make. It's great with or without frosting. I don't like frosted cookies, and so many sugar cookies are completely tasteless cardboard with the sole purpose of holding frosting. Not these! I make them all year long, and they are perfect with coffee. The almond extract makes all the difference. Delicious! Thanks Dora!
