"I have done this recipe many times for many crowds- all of whom loved it. Recently, I tried her son Bobby's more nutritious version. It is a different flavor (a tart vanilla), but equal quality.The company I served it to (who had also tried Paula's version) liked it. I think the consensus was "I like Paula's recipe better, but I really like this t""

"This is not a brownie, but a super good cake.The texture and glaze reminded me of a donut. I also liked that it was simple so the only thing I didn't have in the pantry/fridge already was the orange extract. "

"Even the next-day leftovers were super moist.

"The 9 by 13 inch pan spread them too thin. I think I would go with a smaller plan if I made them again.

"Since there are two long waits, it couldn't hurt to do some of the steps the night before. We had fun smashing candy canes with a hammer, and getting our hands messy while mixing it into the dough. We had no problems, aside from our cookies being nowhere near as attractive as the picture. Only make this for people who like peppermint a lot.

"I had no idea how simple pecan pie is to make! Pecan pie is my husband's favorite food, and this got his approval. Now I need to figure out what to make with all the extra liquor.

"I was pleased with how easy these good quality cookies were to make. I forgot to read the part about chilling for 2 hours, so mine only got 1 hour and 15 minutes before I had to cook them for company. They still turned out great. I have a batch in the oven now that I let sit in the fridge overnight, so I wouldn't make the same mistake today. Maybe they'll be even better :).
