4/26/2018 - 1st time
2/7/2019 - It took a long time to reach boiling with the burner set at # 4. Once started, the mixture continued to boil when it turned the burner down to # 1. I got 24 large cookies from the mix, but the last few were very dry and crumbly.
3/10/2020 - I added 2 teaspoons of decaffinated coffee grounds to the basic recipe. With the burner on 5, the mixture began to boil in less than 9 minutes. The recipe made 25 cookies.
9/3/2022 - I added 1 tablespoon of decaffinated coffee grounds to the recipe. With the burner on 5, the mixture began to boil in 10 minutes. I made 22 cookies.
