I’m getting mentally prepared to start loving w cakes. I know I won’t be super terrible from the lessons I’ve gained w cookies but I’m still going out of my comfort area.

I’m gonna start w the vanilla cake from Emma’s Goodies. https://youtu.be/U9Qdmemc6NY

Any tips on flouring/buttering a pan, or on cutting out the parchment paper for the bottom? Honestly, I have always kinda sucked at tracing stuff like a circle around a vase, etc.

I FINALLY HAVE IT, MY MOM'S OATMEAL CHOCOLATE MnM COOKIE RECIPE, aka Daddy Cookies, because she made them for Daddy, who very politely allowed us to have some as well.

Oatmeal Granola MnM Chocolate Chip Cookies

INGREDIENTS (in US volume)
2 sticks margarine
1 cup White Sugar
1 cup DARK brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups AP flour
half a teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon baking POWDER
1 teaspoon baking SODA.
2 1/2 Cups of Old Fashioned Oats, with extra to adjust dough consistency as needed

1/2 bag of Dark Chocolate baking chips
1/2 bag Mini baking MnMs (or the regular baking kind, depends on what you can get)
1 cup chopped walnuts

OR
Dried fruit and nuts in any sensible combination, but then they're not Daddy Cookies, and who wants that?

DIRECTIONS:

Cream Together 2 sticks of margarine, 1 cup white sugar, 1 cup dark brown sugar. Once creamed together, add 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mix to incorporate.

In another bowl, mix 2 cups AP flour, half a teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon baking POWDER, and 1 teaspoon baking SODA. 2 1/2 cups of FINELY CHOPPED old fashioned oats (To chop, just make 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats, add to blender, blitz a few times till thoroughly chopped but not powderized. Or hit it with a knife a bunch, I don't know, you're all smart people). mix thoroughly and add to wet ingredients. Mix well.

Dough should be a firm, moist, hold a round shape, and not be overly sticky. If mixture is too thin and sticky, add in a handful of unchopped rolled oats.

Fold in half a bag of chocolate chips, half a bag of mini MnM's, and 1 cup chopped walnuts. Or whatever other mix ins you want, you filthy non chocolate wanter. Or, oh gosh, maybe you're allergic to chocolate, i'm so sorry. Or maybe you're a sentient, finger having dog with an interest in baking. Go you. Dried fruit and nuts could work well. Or just raisins, that's always good.

Use 2 large soup tablespoons (or a disher if you're fancy) to make balls of dough. Arrange on non-stick foil (or greased regular foil) on a baking sheet. allow 1.5 inches of space for cookies to spread. Dont crowd! Err on the side of using more trays.

Bake 15 minutes at 350f. May have to be baked in batches if not all of them fit in the oven at once, that's ok. check for doneness, cookie should be baked through, but still soft. It will harden somewhat as it cools. The end result will be a nice firm cookie, but with some softness. If overbaked, they'll still be good, but very hard and crunchy, you'll need some milk.

Let cool before removing from foil and cramming into mouth, but we know that never works and some end up disappearing. I don't know, blame the cat.

limit 3 per day or the krampus will get you.

Merry Xmas

I've made these twice, they were awesome. I kind of want some right now.

But, I also got a hankerin for some scotcharoos, anyone have a recipe?

I have tasted reeses peanut butter cups for the first time in my life a few months ago. They were delicious. Peanut butter was really late in coming to Finland, I don't remember ever seeing it until the mid or late 2000s in stores. I remember really wanting to know what a PBJ tasted like in my teens (90s/early 00)...

So tonight I am going shopping to try and make these:

I made this strawberry cake for Valentine's Day: https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/strawberry-cake/

The cake itself was meh (it won't be at all pink unless you add dye, it was really dense, and it didn't taste like much of anything), but the frosting was holy poo poo good. It's just a standard cream cheese frosting but with a bunch of powdered freeze dried strawberries in it. I used an entire bag of Trader Joe's strawberries (I think just over an ounce), which was a lot more than the recipe called for, but I really wanted it to be STRAWBERRRRRY. It turns a beautiful color and the flavor is strong. The little bit of tartness from the cream cheese is perfect with fruit. Just watch for the little silica gel bag if you dump it straight into your in blender/processor cause I almost missed it...

Def going to try it with raspberries or blueberries or whatever other freeze dried fruit I can find. And probably just use a chocolate or white cake base.

I made this the other week myself. The frosting is amazing!! My cake turned out dense but I thought it was flavorful and delicious. I used a bunch of frozen field strawberries we picked by hand last June, though. Maybe your berries just weren't super flavorful to begin with?

Maybe not. I used a pound bag of frozen from Trader Joe's. It gave me about 2 cups of puree, so getting it down to 1/2 cup concentrated it more than it called for. I figured that would give me a nice flavor, but nope. The frosting made up for it though mmmm

I first tried these ones because it instantly popped up when I searched "chewy red velvet cookies" for a Christmas present I was making a couple years back.

Very chewy, delicious red velvet sandwich cookies, and I believe the truest presentation of the necessary cream cheese frosting component of red velvet.

I've been curious to whip up some ermine icing for these instead of cream cheese, actually.

I made oatmeal cookies with banana chips and mini PB Cups.
Flavor was excellent, cookie texture was good.
My only point of issue is that the banana chips basically melted away into gentle banana flavor. I was hoping for some textural contrast from them.
Maybe next time put one or two on top of the cookie when I put them in the oven or at the halfway/rotate time.

Made thick chocolate chip cookies to test my new stand mixer. They're loving huge (the one where I'm holding it is a quarter of a cookie) and are an even 800 kcal apiece so I'll definitely never eat an entire one at once ever. Delicious, though.

CHIEFS

BITCH



I just made these.

https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/cherry-icebox-cookies/

I doubled the amounts of cherries and maraschino juice, and omitted the nuts, cream of tartar, and lemon juice (because I used a knockoff version of the recipe that forgot to include the lemon juice). Any of those could probably account for why the cookies came out softer and more cloyingly cake-like than the real things. Still good, but the recipe needs some tweaking.

Btw if you’ve never had cherry icebox cookies from Collin Street Bakery in Texas, you’re missing out. They’re like potato chips. Sugary, pink, delicious, addictive, crack-flavored potato chips.

Anyone track how much they bake? I’ve been keeping a log for the last month and it’s a lot. drat. I love it.

I’m gonna try and work through the Perfect Cookie cookbook this summer. I think I said I would a couple summers back when I first got it, but dammit I’ve put it on my goals. Probably knock out that first recipe on Sunday.


EDIT: oh yeah Cookie Monster rules but not sure how I feel about how being made of cupcakes. ;) Unless there was risk of him eating himself if was made of cookies.

So, I’ve been working through The Perfect Cookie... again. Some of you may remember I was going to do that a couple years ago but this time I’m actually doing it. I’ve made 3 recipes out of... 250 recipes. But I’ve made those recipes A LOT in the last couple of weeks. I was sick last week and that really stunk but I was able to transcribe quite a few recipes. I’m at 15 and that includes everything on the page.

I’ve gotten pretty decent at browning butter thanks to their drop cookie recipes. I did it maybe... 3 times in the last couple of years and I ended up doing it for 10 batches in about 2 weeks.

The brownies came up because I didn’t have a ton of time last night but “needed” to bring something into work today. (I’ve never missed bringing this particular office treats in over a year.) I had a lot of fun practicing my chopping w my new chef’s knife. Anyway, I doubled them up despite my first time making the recipe and it came out perfect! So proud of myself and this outcome. Anyway, I liked the recipe so much I ditched seeing John Wick 3 despite trying for weeks now so I can bring this recipe into my regular office. I biked and got some refills of Penzey’s cocoa, normal and Dutch-processed, and then knocked this batch out in like... 20% less time.

And I made the rest of some triple chocolate cookies w some dough leftover from Saturday.

I love baking! Hope y’all have been having fun :)

I did basically this, but I accidentally started creaming the butter in the first step, so I refrigerated it, broke it up by hand into big chunks, and processed it again until it was sandy, then continued as marked.
