Eggnog Thumbprints

Delicious! Instead of the icing drizzle recipe offered, I mixed egg nogg with powdered sugar and drizzled over the cookies. Delicious!

Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2004

I'm an avid baker, and I love both peanut butter and chocolate chips -- so I thought this recipe, with its high ratings, would be absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately, I found them to be very middle of the road. I got about three dozen out of them, and they were fine, but nothing to really write home about. I do have to complement their fluffy texture, however. But baking them at 375 for 12 - 14 minutes is asking for a burned cookie!

Flourless Chocolate Cake II

Reviewed: Mar. 27, 2004

I am a true chocoholic, and this recipe was amazing! Served with a creme anglaise, it was elegant, simple -- and used items that every cook has on hand readily. The texture was soft and delicious -- warm slices 10 sec. in the microwave the day after. I added about two tblsp. of flour, though and got a more "cakey" consistancy. EXCELLENT recipe!

Mexican Wedding Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 2, 2003

I truly adore these cookies, which I call "tea cookies" more than I call them mexican wedding cookies. They are delicious with coffee or tea, and I normally replace the almonds with walnuts or peacans. I find the flavor to be better. These "butterball" cookies are excellent, and everyone who has tried them, loves them! You can add little accents like perhap a little bit of lemond rind or lemon extract to the dough to flavor it differently. I also like to roll the balls in the sugar when they are warm. It makes a nice icing like consistancy.. mmmm!

Hershey's ® Hot Fudge Pudding Cake

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2002

WOW! This recipe is a keeper for all you chocoholics out there! A very rich, chocolatey experience. Easy recipe, takes about 40 to 50 mins total to mix together and bake. The outcome is amazing. The cake is very moist and not as fluffy as a devil's food, but not as dense as a brownie. I would say... somewhere inbetween those two. And the fudge on the bottom is delicious... exactly hot fudge. Scoop some vanilla bean ice cream on this, and you have a decadent winner! I would suggest a glass of milk to wash this down, too!

Cream Cheese Pound Cake III

Reviewed: Dec. 8, 2002

Although fairly easy to make, the outcome was a bit of a disappointment. It tasted too eggy and it was somewhat moist, but overall... not my favorite pound cake. I would pass this up in favor of trying other recipes.

Scottish Shortbread I

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2002

I baked these for Thanksgiving, using a maple leaf cookie cutter, and drizzled a powdered sugar/milk mixture over it (colored in fall colors of course). I took them to my Aunt's house, and they were immediately gobbled up. My Aunt and Grandma even decided to take a bunch and stash them away for their daily tea! What a delicious recipe! They keep their shape well, and are very buttery and yummy! This will definately stay in my recipe box.

Award Winning Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 7, 2002

These are absolutely the best chocolate chip cookies ever! I have tried numerous recipes from allrecipes and from different recipe books. It stays moist and soft, and doesn't get too thick or too thin. The chocolate chips stay gooey and wonderful... I made two batches, put them away and froze them... by THREE days later, my boyfriend ate them all, he loved them! Even after defrosting them or re-heating them on warm for a couple minutes in the oven... they are still delicious! This is an indestructible recipe and I reccommend it to all.

Best Brownies

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2002

I ALWAYS use this recipe when I'm in the mood for brownies. It always turns out perfectly, and is enjoyed hearily by all. I like to add different nuts or toppings (such as almond toffee, frostings, etc). I always have these ingredients on hand, and it's SOOOO super easy to make! I've tried tons of the brownie recipes here and this one is the best.

Joey's Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 26, 2002

This is an excellent cookie. Soft on the inside, and a tad crisp on the outside. I like to sprinkle a little bit of sugar on top immediately after taking it out of the oven. The only problem I have with this cookie is that it's not as great-tasting a day later. BUt definately the best peanut butter cookie recipe of the bunch here at allrecipes.

Golden Rum Cake

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2002

Wow! What a cake! Its easy, simple, and delicious. I make this cake once a year during Christmas time for my boyfriend's father, who absolutely LOVES rum. I go all out and use his favorite Bacardi light rum brand, and basically substitute all of the liquid used in the recipe with rum (i.e., rum instead of water). And the glaze... I add even more rum! He slices this cake into 12 slices and puts it in the freezer (it doesn't freeze, it has so much rum in it) so he can have a slice every month until the next time I make the cake. Except this past year he asked me to make it again for his birthday, because his wife and kids started eating the cake too, it was so delicious (they don't even like rum that much!). Moist, wonderful, and simple. What more could you ask out of a cake? :) Great job, Jackie!

Mrs. Sigg's Snickerdoodles

Reviewed: May 26, 2001

What a wonderful recipe. I'm not sure who Mrs. Siggs is, but thank goodness she made this recipe! When I told my boyfriend I wanted to make these snickerdoodles he kept insisting he disliked snickerdoodles and wouldn't touch one. Mrs. Siggs proved him wrong! He can't stop eating them and was amazed that there was a snickerdoodle alive that he actually loves! Thanks for the great recipe!
