These are awesome! I added boiled 1 cup of raisins for 3 minutes, cooled them, and added them to the recipe. I did not use nuts because of allergies. I also added 1 1/2 tsp of vanilla. This is a keeper! -
delicious! I didn't find them dry at all- chewy and chocolatey! I know my oven runs hot, and I found that only 7-8 minutes to bake was perfect. -
These were pretty good. I just didn't like that the cookie was dry, somewhat crumbly, and kind of flavorless. -
Very good twist on an old classic. Followed the recipe exactly and was very happy with the end result. My only snafu was my first batch turned out a little too crispy (my oven may be too hot). I rescued the other cookies and they were fantastic. Will definitely make this one again. -
My daughter and I made these last weekend. Instead of using Hershey's Kisses, we used Dove Chocolates, both milk and dark. When you put the chocolate in the middle of the cookie - wait a few minutes, then press it gently down. The result is something the looks very similar to the wax seals that used to be used on envelopes - the chocolate in the middle, and melted chocolate coming up around the edges. The dove chocolate did take hours to set back up again, but once it did, they are DELICIOUS! YUMMY!! Thanks for the recipe!!!

These turned out great, I added raisins in place of the nuts because we are not to big on nuts. Everyone that tried these fell in love with them.

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D
We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank).
I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!!
I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
