What are you baking today (2024)?

I baked a lime cheesecake today with a gingernut base. Cooling now, slicing tomorrow ❤️

I lost weight while not trying, 3 kilo's already ( roughly 7 lbs) . When trying nothing happened. I mean what?? I am so confused by my body sometimes 🤣
I can relate to that one. I did that after I had my gall bladder surgery, dropped several pounds without trying. This year I seem to be gaining it all back though...:eek:
 
I've been craving these for almost a year, but just didn't have enough "giddy-up" to do it, but today, now today is a different story!

ATK Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
I've been known to sub the Raisins for dried Cranberries, both equally ONO (that's Hawaiian for delicious) !!!
 
To be fair to my DH, I made his favorite cookie today

Chocolate Chip with chopped Pecans ... I've adapted a recipe from Land O Lakes.
They are very good, thick and chewy.
I use Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Chips, they're pretty big.
I also dish out the dough much larger than what the recipe calls for.
A half recipe yields 2 1/2 dozen cookies, about 3 inches/7.62 centimeters across.

I had some treat boxes leftover from Christmas, put 4 cookies in a box and sent it next door.
I got a bottle of my favorite wine in return, not a bad trade I'd say :drink:
 
My favorite cookie!
TastyReuben this is an excellent cookie, made a bit differently, but super easy and delicious!!! This recipe does not call for an electric mixer either, just a sturdy spoon. I'll post the recipe if you'd like ...
