"I tripled the recipe to make a really big batch, using 2/3 butter flavored Crisco and 1/3 butter and added about another 2/3 cup peanut butter for more peanutty flavor and added about 1-1/2 bags mini chocolate chips.

"I don't know how I skipped rating this recipe that I've made several times over the past year. These cookies are excellent, crisp and have a subtle lemon flavor.

"I doubled the recipe to make a deep dish 10-inch pie and baked it for about an hour and a half at 400 degrees. After reading reviews, I added an extra 4 tblsp. flour for the doubled recipe and the filling was perfect. Thank you for posting this great peach pie recipe!"

"This is a real good heavy dense cake. I swirled a mixture of 2 tblsp. cocoa, 2 tblsp instant expresso powder with 4 tblsp of sugar with 1 cup of mini chocolate chips through the cake batter, added a crumb topping and used an angel food cake pan with a removable bottom. Bake an extra 15 minutes. Excellent! Thanks for a great recipe!"

"Best lemon bars I've ever tasted, just melted in my mouth. Like the others, I used butter flavored Crisco shortening along with the butter, added an extra tablespoon of flour and 7 tablespoons of lemon juice and added 2 teaspoons lemon zest. Would give this 10 stars if I could.......Thank you!"

"I made these several times, with different additions each time I baked them: butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, m and m's but my favorite addition was white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. Great recipe, very rich and chewy! I would give it more than 5 stars if I could......Yum!"
