I saw a copy of the recipe book today and would like to make a couple of
adjustments to the recipes that I submitted.
First: I made a mistake in the Dragon cookies-had proofed the recipe several times, but still missed it--I use the white baking chips with the walnuts,instead of the chocolate chips; this is what makes them the "Dragon Cookies" (instead of good chocolate chip cookies)

Second: For the Chocolate mousse cake: an alternate for the nut crust was left out. I use 15-18 Oreo cookies (whole cookie)and process them into crumbs and use them instead of the hazelnut/butter for the crust. I grease the inside of the pan and pat in the crumbs on the bottom and about 3/4 of the way up the side- put the pan in a 350 oven for three minutes to set it up and then take it out to cool for a few minutes before proceding.
I think this is an important alternative to have, as there are so many folks (like me and pecans) who are allergic to nuts and this is too good of a cake to have to pass up.
I apologise for the mistake in the Dragon cookies-it makes such a wonderful and different taste, and I hope that the alternate crust makes the cake accessible to everyone.

Thanks Marcia! I have printed this out 3 times and will add it to my cookbook and also the two I bought for my daughters for their Christmas stocking.

I made note in my book too, Thanks!!

Boy JoanJ, If they get such things as this cookbook in their stocking...I wish I was one of your daughters!! LOL Just the book alone would make a good stuffer, I can imagine what else you'll be stuffing in there too! LOL

LOL Molly, these are some really spoiled kids. I wrecked them a long time ago and once they are wrecked, it's hard to un-do it. LOL! What else will I be stuffing in there with the cookbook? I try to keep their stockings *themed* every year, and since this is one of the first years they have both been on their own, I'll put in some spatulas and such.
