"This was my first time making crab cakes and I appreciated the simplicity of this recipe. I used 2 cups of fresh dungeness crab meat. I didn't have green onions or green peppers so I used a little bit of diced white onion. I did refrigerate the cakes for about 45 minutes and I also used panko instead of flour to coat the cakes.

"Just made these and I'm in heaven. Recipe produced a surprisingly light "cake like" cookie that is chocolatey minty goodness! I decided to make the cookies smaller and used a 1.5 inch scoop which yielded 28 cookies. I also used 1/2 of a 10 oz. bag of Andes creme de menthe baking chips. I baked @ 325 on convection.
