Merry Christmas!! :D I hope you are enjoying this festivities with your beloved ones <3

I found this recipe last thursday and since that day I've baked three batches! Now they are my ultra super duper favorite cookie in the whole world and forever!

Okay, so my dad is full-blooded Swedish and I want to make him some traditional cookies. He can't remember the name of his childhood favorite, but he told me they were:
1. very buttery cookies
2. looked like three fingers
3. covered in powdered sugar
4. were not Fattigmann

I guess his grandmother made them all the time, but he hasn't had them since he was a child. I've googled and looked in the bakebakebake memories, but can't find anything! Please help me out! I'd love to make them for Christmas if I get a recipe today :)

First time posting. I hope I don't disappoint/mess up.
I just made these tonight.

Hey there (: I was browsing through this community a few days ago and found a post someone had made about a chocolate peppermint truffle they had made with red velvet cake balls. I would reeeeeally love to find the recipe but I can't seem to find it. I did a search for it as well but no luck. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? thanks in advance (:

So this year my brother asked for some of my homemade spice rubs for Christmas. I just made them up and wrapped them, and I thought that maybe I could share the recipes here as ideas for nice little stocking stuffers for others to give to your loved ones as well.

Sorry, no pics of the finished product. But I can assure you that they're all very yummy!

Merry Christmas!

So, I baked some oatmeal raisin cookies the other day, and stored them in a ziplock bag (never doing that again!). Someone tried to clean up the dining room and moved the bag around too much and now they are mostly crumbs :(
Anyone have any neat ideas of what to do with the oatmeal raisin cookie crumbs? I, of course, will probably still munch on the bits and pieces, but I think it'd be nice to turn the crumbs into something new.

Thanks!!

So, today rolled around and I was bound and determined to make him that cake - the one that I decided to learn to make fondant for - and while my 6 year old went off with his dad for work, I spent all morning making this cake. Again, box cake :( but everything else is me. ( I Am IRONMAN )

( Under the cut as I appear to go on a bit! ) I have added a new tag (gingerbread) - hope that's OK!

does anyone have an ALMOST foolproof recipe for french macarons? I know they're pretty hard to make, I was just wondering if anyone here has a recipe they've used that turned out well.

Thanks!

This month was one of my best friends at universities birthday, and I decided to make it special. She had already seen I had made my boyfriend a birthday cake for his birthday last month, so she hinted what she wanted me to make, not actually thinking I would make it.

and here it is! I kind of wish I also bought some of the regular size party rings to photograph in comparison, but non the less she was extremely grateful and shocked when I walked into our local pub with it to give to her.


Before I tidied up the icing.

I have a small dilemma. On Christmas Eve I will be making 2 four egg pavlovas for Christmas day.. and yes, you guessed it, what to do with the egg yolks. I'm in New Zealand so I wouldn't be able to use it for anything too hot as it is the middle of the summer here.

I usually make a Gold Cake with four egg yolks, but that is getting a bit old now and I would like to make something a bit different. Preferably in the biscuit or cake line.

Anyone have a recipe or two I could use? Please :)

Hi everyone! So I went to a holiday party a few days ago, and one woman brought these cookies that I swear are the best cookies I've ever had!... The taste and texture was like a shortbread cookie, and they were plump and thick, not flat. They had a crumbly texture at first but melted in your mouth. I can definitely taste some cream of tartar in them. ALSO, the best part-- they were topped with buttery sesame seeds before being baked-- a nice salty contrast to the sweet, buttery cookie. I was so sad the lady left before I got a chance to ask her for the recipe. Does anyone have an idea of what I'm talking about?? I hope so, this community has never failed me before lol  =) Thanks in advance!

I tweaked a recipe from Sandra Lee's addition to Food Network's 12 Days of Cookies and came up with something delicious. The original recipe* got terrible reviews, with good reason, but the idea of peppermint sugar cookies really appealed to me so I played with it a bit and came up with this. My mom & I made up plates of several kinds of cookies for friends and neighbors this year, and these were a hit.

Hey everyone! I'm not extremely good at baking but I am looking for Christmas Cookie Recipes for dogs. I looked through the tags but I didn't find any *christmasy* ones. Oh also I was hoping for one preferably without using a cookie cutter.

Thanks! :)

I'm making sugar cookies for the my cousin's son to frost and decorate on Christmas Eve (the poor dear is the only kid). I never frost cookies, so I'm looking for something that will be easy for him to work with (he's 5), but will still taste delicious and sweet.
Any ideas?
