Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

Being a Vegan I am always looking for different ways to make recipes instead of using chicken broth I used Knorr Vegetarian Vegetable Bouillon to make a vegetable broth I also used instant brown rice that i had already cooked and topped it off with Galaxy Nutritional food cheddar flavor veggie shreds (which is vegetarian cheese which comes in many flavors) you can buy these ingredients either at a health food store or a big chain super market the recipe was fantastic and everyone loved it and wanted me to make it again. Delicious

Had a butternut squash to use...was tired of the same old baked squash or butternut squash biscuits. I ried this on a whim, and both toddler and husband LOVED it. We are vegetarians, so I substitued two organice low salt stock cubes for the chicken broth and it was still lovely. I also used wet garlic rather than cloves, as I live in the UK and that's what the farm delivered. Will definitely make it again! (As hubby requested me to 'keep this one!')

Made this dish trying to find veggie recipes that are toddler and parent friendly. This was an absolute hit with both. Have made it twice now and will probably continue to do so regularly!

This was a pretty good recipe...not the best, but good none the less. It would go well as a side to turkey.

A little apprehensive at first because of how unusual the dish sounded but I've made it twice now and my guests loved it.
