Ginger Cookies : page 51

Chewy Brown Sugar Cookies : page 62

These have excellent texture - chewy with crisp edges. The flavor is good but I think a little bit of spice or maybe more molasses would help. While I though these lacked oomph everyone else loved them, hence the rating.

White Chocolate, Rosemary, and Apricot Cookies : page 122

I love these cookies! I used Trader Joe's Dried Blenheim Apricots which are nice and tangy, skimped a little on the Ghirardelli white chocolate chips and used Penzey's dried rosemary (tho recipe calls for fresh) and they came out wonderfully balanced. Flavor was great, texture was nice and chewy with crispy edges and they are even better after a few hours rest.
