She thought they should have been puffier, but I didn't care about that - they tasted great! Sweet, chewy, crunchy - very good cookie and so easy to put together using the refrigerated sugar cookie dough...colorful, too, with the holiday colors encrusted on the outside. http://www.grouprecipes.com/85989/candy-bar-filled-cookies.html I made this particular dish the other day and it was absolutely wonderful. My wife, who normally does not eat big portions, cleaned off her plate and wanted more, so that is a very good sign.... The thickness of the tuna steak you use really depends on how rare you like your tuna. Because you are only searing the outside of your tuna steak, it will not be in the pan for very long. So the thicker the steak, the more rare the center will be. I personally do not like my tuna too rare, so I usually make this recipe with thinner cuts of tuna. This is just a preference, not a requirement. Many people, including chefs say the only way to eat tuna is rare. I guess you will have to be the judge. http://www.grouprecipes.com/53138/seared-sesame-encrusted-ahi-tuna-steak-recipe.html I remember the very first time that I ever ate Charlotte Russe. Can't explain it other than it was "heavenly". And I will never forget that moment!! :) http://www.grouprecipes.com/49279/charlotte-russe.html Almond Lovers, Attention! This cake is very special, very gourmet. Delicious dessert, and a cup of wonderful coffee completes the taste! http://www.grouprecipes.com/31264/almond-encrusted-pound-cake.html
