Chewy Gooey Crispy Crunchy Melt-In-Your-Mouth Cookies by Alice Medrich

Lighter Lemon Bars : page 184

Tangy and sweet! I thought this recipe was simple and delicious. The crunch of cornmeal in the crust is a nice change from the usual shortbread and it was indeed lighter. The filling was lemon-y and bright without being overly sour or cloyingly sweet. Next time I will cook them about 2 minutes less, after the minimum 15 minutes they did not have much "jiggle" as the author describes. They were easy to slice and held together well.

Blondies : page 174

These were tasty and moist without being gooey (as blondies sometimes are). Very simple to make but I may work the chocolate in after the butter has cooled. I added mine while the butter/sugar mixture was still slightly warm and the chocolate chunks melted, making them more of a "dirty blonde(i)".

Amaretti : page 122

These are very tasty with just the right amount of crunch and chew. Quick and easy recipe. I cooked mine about 18-20 minutes to retain the chewy interior. Next time I may cut the powdered sugar by 1/3 cup (I saw other recipes w/ less so it should work).
