Homemade Oreos. Store bought oreos are delicious.. homemade oreos are insanely delicious. They make the ones from the box look like a sad sack of stale cardboard. The cookies are chocolately, a tiny bit salty, and not too sweet which offsets the sweet vanilla filling. My only regret is that I waited so long to make them. I had been waiting to make them until I could find some Dutch process cocoa powder that the recipe calls for. Dutch process reacts differently in baking and ensures that the cookies don't puff up during baking.

I found some online but it wasn't worth paying the shipping just for one specific recipe. I decided to go ahead with just regular unsweetened cocoa but I didn't want puffy cookies that looked like whoopie pies so I added an extra tsp of baking soda as per the suggestion of this website. To make the cookies around the same size as the store bought oreos I heaped a teaspoon with the cookie dough... Squished it all in to make sure that it was level... Oreos Makes 40 assembled 1. 2. 3. 4. Food coloring watercolor-effect for painted cookies and cupcakes. Just thought I’d share a little experimenting with you. I tried my hand at a watercolor-esque painting style on cookies. For these, I topped cookies (and a cupcake) with fondant that I allowed to stiffen for a couple hours, but you can also paint on flooded royal icing that has dried very well, preferably overnight.

Watercolor isn’t much different than just painting on cookies with food coloring, except that you add, um, more water. I added a few drops of food coloring–Americolor Soft Gel Pastes of course–to my palette (by which I mean, a plastic egg carton), then added a few more drops of water. You don’t want lots of drips and drops of water flying all over the place, because fondant and royal icing don’t like drips and drops of water. Experiment with a mix of small brushes, round, flat, liners… Mix a drop of color into white food coloring and water for a more pastel look. Look, you can even paint cupcakes. Have you ever painted on cookies or cupcakes?? Feel free to share (nicely)! Tea biscuits. Good Evening :) My last tutorial of the day! Here is this realllllly simple icing how to!

I love it! How cute are they?! I hope you liked today's tutorials! Jess. Graham Cracker S'mores Candy. It's summertime! Let's make s'mores. But let's be different. Let's melt butter and homemade brown sugar and pour that creamy, caramel deliciousness over a layer of crunchy graham crackers. And then bake it. Until it's almost worth burning your fingertips to shove a bubbling caramel sauce-drenched graham cracker into your face. Side note: "Stir continuously" does not mean "leave your wooden spoon in the saucepan and stop stirring long enough to take a find your camera, find your memory card, and take a picture of melting butter and sugar, simply because it looks so good you want to rub it on your face.

" Anyway. Since we've already established that bikinis are stupid, let's throw fistfuls of broken Hershey bars and chocolate chips and marshmallows over the top and bake it s'more. Heaven. Make this. S'mores Cracker Candy 12 sheets of graham crackers 3/4 cup butter 3/4 cup brown sugar 3 cups mini marshmallows 4 Hershey bars, broken into pieces 1 cup milk chocolate chips Preheat oven to 350°F. Deep-Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie for One & Healthy Food For Living.

By Lauren Zembron, on July 20th, 2012 I know, I know… it seems as though I’ve been posting sweet recipe after sweet recipe (with a little something cheesy thrown in); but you see, after what seemed like a long time during which sweets were unappealing during my first trimester, (what can I say, pregnancy does some strange things to your body!) , they’re apparently back with a vengeance on my appetite’s menu. Sooooo if you’re a sweet freak like me, all I can say about my recent recipe post pattern is: you’re welcome. And if you’re not? I’m sorry. Now let’s get to this deep-dish cookie. Jenny from Picky Palate recently posted a recipe for a microwavable chocolate chip cookie made in a ramekin that looked so unbelievably delicious I had to make my own (slightly healthier) version. I cut out half of the sugar, subbed in whole wheat pastry flour, and used grain-sweetened chocolate chips (which have less sugar than semi-sweet chips).

Now I’m under no delusion that even my version is healthy.
