As a follow-up to Sex Hobbitt’s post, what are people’s favorite recipe sites or books? I just picked up a Wilton cake decorating book for a few bucks at a used book store. Looks to be really informative.

https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/232799/chef-johns-lemon-bars/ This has been my go to since 2016. It is my most requested item of anything I bake, and I bake soooo much. My friends had me bake for their wedding, I watched a gentleman come up to the table and be disappointed by the lack of lemon bars (after 2 double batches, 64 squares!). He scraped up all the goo and scraps he could with his hand and shoveled it in his mouth. I’m gonna try some of these others, but this one is reaaaaaal good. So, I have a 4.5qt KitchenAid stand mixer but it’s not big or powerful enough for double batches. I’m considering the 6qt professional 600 series. Any thoughts? Caveats?

I love Sally so I’ll try it out. How does using a fridge/freezer for a few minute affect things? Stuff in my 13x9 pan takes hours to cool if I just let em sit but yesterday and Monday, I threw my lemon bars and brownies in the freezer and fridge respectively and was happy w the results. I let them cool normally for 40+ minutes and then stuck em in the cooler for like 3 min. Just want to make sure I’m not screwing anything up.

Bogart posted:Anyone got good recipes with white chocolate chips? Don't have to be cookie based. It's just rare that I have something with white chocolate that I think 'this wouldn't be better with regular chocolate.' https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2014/09/01/white-chocolate-pumpkin-snickerdoodles/ These have been well received at 2 offices!

Any good brownie or cookie recipes that you folks like that call for baking chocolate? I’ve got a backlog. EDIT: also, how do you handle baking w two sheets? Where do you place them? Boywhiz88 fucked around with this message at 12:14 on Dec 4, 2018 |

https://instagram.com/p/BsIavTHF9bg/ Made these spiced pumpkin pie bars from the Sally’s Baking Addiction book. They rule! Just need to do a better job of mixing but it gave a great effect, at least. In addition to that book, I also received the Great Minnesota Cookie Book (3 times, actually!), and a spice ack that my GF commissioned. What did everyone else get?

I made brown butter Snickerdoodles out of the Sally’s Cookie Addiction book. Very interesting flavor! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsepyk3lWvB/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1c0xy738qjqt0 Was surprised by the inclusion of milk and vanilla extract in the ingredients.

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.

Favorite cookie scoops? I’ve worn out both of my #40s. In part cause I’m a bit overly aggressive w cold dough. Looking at a Norpro but wanted to get people’s takes.

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.

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’m grabbing that for sure. I’ve traveled for work again, and continue to get stopped cause of my passion for bringing fresh cookies on my carry-on. Also, I’ve gotten real good at browned butter. Shout out Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie!
