I've made lots of chocolate chip cookies in my life, but these are THE BEST I HAVE EVER MADE. They flavor is good, if you want a stronger flavor I'd suggest adding a little more vanilla. The texture is exactly what it claims to be. Crunchy outside, chewy middles. I added slightly more flour because it seemed a bit runny, then I chilled in the fridge for just 30 minutes and used 1/8 measuring cups for smaller cookies. Rolled them in my hands, patted them down a bit and placed them on foil lined cookie sheets for 14 minutes. Perfect.

I don't like cookes salmon that much, but this was good. Still don't like salmon but I can appreciate this recipe

Really good recipe for a twist on hummus. I would decrease the amount of tahini and use chopped fresh basil. Whole different experience fresh basil in this is. I also added sun dried tomatoes for a bit of tangy sweetness, but that's just a personal preference.

Absolutely, HANDS DOWN, the BEST gucamole recipe EVER. I actually learned this recipe from a few waiter friends I knew that worked at this AMAZING Mexican joint. The key, and I seriously mean this, is good avocados. This is ALL ABOUT the avocados. Don't bother to use this recipe if you don't have good, creamy, ripe ones. It will turn out chalky and unpleasant. If your avocados aren't ripe yet, stick them in newspaper with a banana in a cupboard for a few days. If you insist on using bad avocados I would suggest adding some sour cream and a couple of teaspoons of olive oil and they should improve the taste.

This was ok, but bland. I decided to try it because I'm Arab and not a big fan of this dish (shak shooka) the way we make it, but this is very bland in comparison to the way we make it at home. If you want to give it a kick add onions with the garlic then some mild to hot green peppers (depending on your liking) then season with cumin. That's how we make it here in Egypt and, more specifically, my house.

This is an EXCELLENT recipe. I did make a few changes though so I'll list those before I tell you what I liked about this recipe. I cut down the sugar to only two tablespoons for a less sugary challah. I also used only a third cup of vegetable oil and used only 3 eggs but omitted the yolks. My challah was very soft and moist, almost velvety on the inside, with just a slight crunch on the outside. I made this into one large 6 braid challah and brushed with only egg. Then I dipped my finger in water, then into the sesame seeds and gave each segment a roll of sesame for a more even look. Overall this was SUPERB and I have already been asked to make it for a baker friend of mine who wants to feature it in her bakery!
