Blueberry Spice Crumb Bars : page 114
These were tasty. I used frozen berries and I think they needed a bit more something... A little more sugar would have helped. The crust was a nice "crumble" that was used both for the base and the topping. Even with 8 extra minutes in the oven the filling never got "bubbly".

Call Me Blondies : page 124
These were great, unfortunately I may have left them in about 5 minutes too long - next time no more than 25 minutes. They were a bit cake-y when I was looking for a more fudge-y/gooey bar. I added walnuts and was pretty generous with the vanilla.

Carrot Raisin Spice Chewies : page 37
Love the flavor but the texture was a little too cakey for me. I prefer a dene chewy cookie, one that bends but has crisp edges. If you want carrot cake this is your cookie - moist, spicy and tasty.

Chocolate Chip Cookies : page 35
These came out tasty, however they were extremely oily. I did add more flour after baking the first small sample batch. The cookies were indeed soft in the middle and crisp on the bottom and the flavor was good, I just couldn't believe how greasy they were. Next time I will definitely decrease the canola oil. I added salted peanuts and used half chocolate/half peanut butter chips.

City Girl Snickerdoodles : page 46
Really liked these. Watch out tho -if you want a chewy cookie center you need to bake no more than 8-10 minutes, 12 minutes gave me a tasty but crisp cookie.

Deluxe Cocoa Brownies : page 132
These are terrific - extra moist without being gooey, cake-y enough to have a tender crumb but not crumbly or dry.

Fruity Oaty Bars : page 101
These were a little cakey, and not as chewy as I had hoped they would be. Flavor was good and I think they will be great with coffee in the morning. Looking forward to playing around with different spices, dried fruits and seeds.

Macadamia Ginger Crunch Drops : page 57
Super moist and gingery. I may decrease the sugar just a bit (maybe 1/4 cup) next time. Also I found 1 generous cup of macadamia nuts to be plenty - there was not enough batter in a couple of the cookies to hold all the nuts together.

Mexican Chocolate Snickerdoodles : page 89
Really enjoyed this spicy chocolate version of a snickerdoodle. Like the City Girl Snickerdoodles these go from chewy with crisp edges to crisp through and through very quickly. If chewy is your thing than bake no more than 10 minutes and remove from the pan promptly after 5 minute cool down. I didn't have chocolate extract so I doubled the vanilla and they tasted great.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies : page 75
Delicious, chewy, moist cookie! Every bit as good as my usual non-vegan recipe. I did not have quick cooking oats but instead used Bob's Red Mill Extra Thick Oats.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Pillows : page 147
Great cookie. Not as labor intensive as I thought they would be. Though my chocolate dough seemed really wet and sticky they came together nicely. The peanut butter dough did not need the extra tablespoon of almond milk and in fact I had to stiffen it up a little with some powdered peanut butter (I was trying not to add more sugar). Came out chewy with crisp edges - delicious.

Tahini Lime Cookies : page 60
Excellent cookie! Nutty flavor with bright highlights from the lime zest. The texture of these were crispy around the edges with soft, chewy centers.
