biscuits/cookies

When I was a kid there was a show called Remington Steel. In one episode, the man who created the calorie-free chocolate chip cookie was murdered, and all these years later I still think about that cookie. It's the Holy Grail, for me, anyway. The other day I had some extra "de-watered" yogurt...

I made this using a bit of a shortcut. I didn't have plain oats handy, so I used instant oatmeal mix. I've done this before, and there doesn't seem to be any real downside. The instant oatmeal was a chocolate chip oatmeal that I mainly got for my kids. I estimated the amount of chocolate chips...

The holidays have past, but the thought of a Christmas treat in Germany has just poked me - Lebkuchen. These are specialty cake cookies that are often included in the Weihnachtzeit celebration. I was wondering if anybody has tried these or better, made them.

Pistachio Biscuits made with our own pistachio flour by crushing pistachio nuts in the mixer – with a little trick. Lovely smell. However, we didn’t grind them too much finely, because we liked the idea of the slightly crunchy texture provided by the pistachio granules. Makes about 20...

I just tried out the vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe in this article last night: Save Money with DIY Christmas Gifts That Don't Suck It was pretty tasty! But I'm wondering, when you make a cookie recipe, what egg substitute do you use? This recipe used a flaxseed "egg." Are there a bunch of...

I've been saying for years that these are getting smaller, I bought a packet of Kingston creams the other day and was amazed at the tiny size. The big one is average but the smaller one is tiny!! Do the makers reduce size to max the profit?? I know they say to eat less sugar but cut the sizes...

You have all heard me say that I am not a baker. I have spread my wings a little with a Carrot Cake, Everything Lemon, Lemon Cake and a dark Chocolate Cake. I want to try decorated Holiday cookies. I have watched numerous YouTube videos. I think I can get the Royal Icing for piping and...

I did this one on a spur of the moment inspiration, assuming you can call this an inspiration. But they can be nice to make with children, who from what I remember from making genuine cookies with cookie cutters back in that day, was indeed fun. I have these farming cookie cutters, see...

Another ice cream creation of my own. Strawberry meringue ice cream is an ice cream flavor sold by a popular ice cream brand and it's one of my favorites. I tried to recreate it at home with less sugar and fresh ingredients. On top of that, I still had 6 egg whites in the freezer from making ice...

I had leftover almond pulp from making almond milk, needed to figure out what to do with it. I searched a couple of recipes until I found one that I liked. Then had to change the recipe to work with the ingredients I had at home. This is the final result. These are gluten free by the way. - 1...

Yeah, I know, what a combination! This recipe is also gluten-free, depending on your oatmeal source. I brought these to a gathering, some people really enjoyed them, but there were a couple who did not. The rhubarb adds some tartness, and while this tartness did not overpower the sweet...

Baci di Dama literally means “kisses of a lady”: the name refers to the fact that the two halves of this biscuit, glued together by a layer of melted chocolate, look like two lips ready to be kissed. And what a buttery, delicious kiss it would be! Baci di dama have been invented more than a...
