I made these today, and they were yummy! All your recipes are great. I live with my mother, and she is a very willing partner in crime to test recipes. If it isn't too much trouble, could you maybe think about changing the color of the font and the visited link font on your side bar? Since you changed the background, I can't see it very well in my computer. If you don't want to, that's fine. I might have an issue with this netbook that I use in the kitchen when I cook. I'll survive!
ReplyDeletep.s. On second look I think it IS my computer because the pretty background with the forks isn't loading-- just the blue layer... My fault I think... I'm afraid
ReplyDeleteBlogger and the older computers are having a part5ing of the ways....
Rita these cookies look amazing!
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me 2 squares of chocolate - what would that be? I'm from New Zealand so I'm not sure how much chocolate I should be adding.
Thanks for sharing!

2 squares of unsweetened baking chocolate is equal to 2 ounces.
