This is an excellent recipe but noticed that many stated they were hard. This is a special trick for ANY cookie which seems too hard. Place cookies in an airtight container. ADD a slice of bread or 2 and cover. Wait to see what happens over night. I would try just one slice first. The bread provides moisture to the cookie and makes them moist. I have had cookies so moist they fell apart so just try the one slice first.

Extreme Banana Nut Bread 'EBNB'

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2006

I am RE-RATING THIS RECIPE!! This is truley the best banana bread recipe. I have tweaked t my way but the end result is awesome. I would like to share my tweaks; I make 3 loaves not 2. Here is my substitutions. I do use the 1 cup butter not marjarine. I still use 1/4C Mayonaise for extreme moisture. I do add however an additonal full cup of flour now. I add chunky applesauce 1 Cup 1 Tesp Cinnamon or allspice. No white sugar I always use 2 cups dark brown sugar. I also sometimes add chopped pecans about 1/2 cup and some occasions I mix in about 3/4 cup pf dired berry/cherry blend of dred fruit. What I love is that this s the best base recipe for doing your own thing it never goes wrong. Your moms recipe is indeen EBNB and I highly reccomend using this recipe. I just made 3 more loaves.

Martha Washington Candies

Reviewed: Dec. 11, 2005

I have been looking for the exact recipe of Martha Washingtons since I was about 16, I have re-made them but no recipe was exactly alike until this one, Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I just wish I knew the history of how they got their name. I think they are the best candy for christmas and I now add white chocolate strewn over the top for a little elegance. Thank you again they are the best,

Chantal's New York Cheesecake

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2005

This is an excellent recipe, I ran out of cream cheese at 3 and not 4 like the recipe requested, so I increased the flour by a few tablespoons, I used chocolate grahams and doubled that part and then I added chocolate chunks (about 1.2 cup) which sank down to the crust layer to bake and topped with blueberry filling, decorated with chocolate leaves and it was a huge hit at a party.

Chocolate Lover's Cheesecake

Reviewed: Sep. 15, 2005

Ecellent & EASY recipe. I love this cheeesecake recipe. It was simple & I used the chunck chips and added a few on top prior to the sour cream topping. I was worried it would not set up it seemed not done but to my surprise it was PERFECT. I added cherries on top and it was exquisite and delicious! I give HIGH marks. Thanks for sharing!!
