Eeww. Sorry WISYS, but I gotta disagree with you here. Cheesecake Factory cheesecake tastes like ...well....factory cheesecake. It just isn't good. Maybe the banana is OK because the taste of the bananas hides the drab flavor of their basic cheesecake. But the few times I've been there I've been disappointed. I don't even go there any more (unless my mom wants to go -- she thinks it's one of the fanciest places ever! -- she's 80).

A regular restaurant that makes their own is usually better.

Okay. I had a request for the recipe for my mom's famous cookies so here goes. It's a long sucker!

3/4 C. shortening
3-1 oz. squares bitter chocolate or 11 T. cocoa
1 C. molasses (light)
1 C. granulated sugar
3 tsp. soda
1 egg
4 1/2 C. sifted flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon

Choose a heavy saucepan in which there will be room enough to mix whole recipe. A low, wide pan rather than a deep one. Measure fat into pan. Melt over very low heat. When fat is melted, add chopped chocolate or cocoa. Stir occasionally until chocolate melts. Stir in molasses. Measure sugar and sift in soda. Stir into the warm mixture. Mixture bubbles and becomes quite thick. Leave on heat, stirring constantly until sugar crystals no longer grate on bottom of pan as you stir (takes about 2 minutes). Remove pan from heat and let cool while measuring the rest of the ingredients. Sift flour with salt and spices. Beat the egg into cooled mixture. Stir in the flour mixture. Final mixing will have to be done with your hands. Cover pan to keep air out. Slip into your refrigerator for half an hour or until chilled through. Remove portions of dough and roll out to about 1/4" thickness on lightly-floured board. Roll with pressure, but continuous, not jerky, strokes. Use a cardboard pattern or use cookie cutters. If a pattern, cut around with knife. Lift onto lightly-oiled cookie sheet. Place fairly close together, since cookies do not spread in baking (they really do spread a little if you make 'em fat). Bake in preheated moderate oven, 350 degrees F., for 8 minutes. Remove to cake racks to cool -- soon to become crisp. Decorations (such as small candies) can be pressed in while still warm.

NOTE: This recipe was originally given with a cat head pattern using gumdrop eyes. Mom used candy corn instead. I use with various cutters, also. Good recipe for kids to roll out and decorate. Excellent for gingerbread men (and women!). Also, I was having trouble with the 4 1/2 cups of flour not getting mixed in thoroughly, so I have reduced to 3 1/2 to 4 cups. Pay close attention to your baking time as they tend to burn easily, especially if rolled out thin. Taste delicious thick or thin, frosted or plain. Mmmm, mmmmm good. Enjoy!

You don't say?!!

Hmmm... I think their cheesecake is moist and creamy, very rich. I've had other flavors there as well, and no complaints about any of them.

I do like the cheesecake from Costco; it's very good. I have never had cheesecake that I liked from a regular restaurant, though.

Ah, well... everyone likes their own thing.
