Recipe is vague to some degree. It doesn't say when to add pears. Also there is no baking soda requirement. Mine came out really bland almost tasteless.

I loved this recipe. I made it gluten free and added dark chocolate chips to half. They are great and I am sure my clients will love them too. Thank you. I added baking soda like suggested but might try without next time just to see.

Yummy! These cookies are so good. I added 1/2 tsp. baking soda as koolqlt suggested. The first cookie sheet I made just like the above recipe, the second sheet I added chopped crystalized ginger to, the third and final sheets I added semi-sweet chocolate chips along with the ginger. I also grated the pears since they weren't quite ripe. The cookies were moist and delicious! -
These cookies were great out of the oven, and even better after a short time in a sealed container. I did not see any leavening in the recipe so I added 1/2 teaspoonful of baking soda. Yesterday's batch was gone in less than 5 hours, so I'm set to make a double batch today. Great way to use up the pears from my tree. Thanks! -
This made almost 60 cookies for me. I substitued 1/4 cup of the butter with applesauce. The resulting mixture seemed really dry, so I added some more. I also added butterscotch chips to some and chocolate chips to others. I used fresh pear, which didn't soften as much as I thought it would. Maybe it would be better grated. Novel idea though and pretty tasty.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all.
Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
