This may be a silly questian, and should probably be on a health forum, but it does sorta have to do with food. Someone in the house has chicken pox. I don't have chicken pox, but since the disease travels through air, would it be bad to bake cookies for peope? I didn't think so, since I...

Thanks for the help! I'll try both of those soon. They look great! So, do the gingersnaps turn out pretty much like the store bought ones? I love those. Sometimes in the fall I make a pumpkin dip and by ginger snaps to dip in for parties and stuff. It would be cool to have homemade gingersnaps...

Thanks for the info! I do have another problem, though. Last night I made a batch from allrecipes.com. They were supposed to be chewy and all the comments on it were positive. It called for melted margarine, and the dough was chilled. I had only a little margarine, but it was the spread kind...

Sure, here is one recipe, my most recent. I had another which was pretty much the same ingredients but it said to beat the shortening and sugar together, add the mollasses and egg, and than the dry ingredients after sifting them together. I thought they tasted pretty much identical. This recipe...

Once at a civil war reinactment I tasted the most delicious mollasses cookie. The were flat and chewy, with delicious flavor. I have made gazilions of recipes since, but without that same chewy result. I have one batch I really like which are chewy, but thicker and crackly looking. I've tried...

Here is a recipe I have used many times successfully, they are delicious and chewy! I got them from Alton Brown from Good Eats on food network. I found out by accident that instead of using another yolk, a white works as well. Also, I mix everything by hand instead of a mixer and it works...

I was making a batch of brownies and wasn't there when they came out. My sibling who took it out didn't check if it was done, and it cooled completely, still with a battery texture. Do I just put it in longer for it to finish cooking? Thanks!

Thanks for all the ideas! I'm actually homeschooled...so my school doesn't have a cooking class:smile: . But I have been baking plenty of bread as gifts for people, which has been good experience. There is a bakery right near our house that is offering baking classes this spring, so...

Not as whopper as some I've seen, but definately big for my family's standards! I believe it was around ten pounds, 22 inches long. I did cook it, without the head. I baked it, and it turned out pretty good, but next time I would try it differently. All I did was bake it in foil with some...

I found the treasure! Yes, it was treasure indeed. :chef: I read all the posts about cookies and last night made up a batch. I took the advice to melt the butter, in hope of a chewy cookie. They were the best! My family literally could not stop eating them. The first plate was gone in a...

Hey! Yesterday my brother reeled in a whopper bass, and now it's de-gutted and in the ice chest. We are going to bake it with a recipe we found but are not sure about the head. We were going to cut it off, but a friend left their fish's head on. What is the reason for leaving on the head?

Thanks! Thanks for the advice, everyone! Now all I have to do is find a good excuse to make up a batch! :tongue:

:sad: Hey! I am interested in becoming a better cook, but am not sure the best way to do it. I know that just cooking more for experience is the best, but am not sure what to do next. I'd be interested in working at a bakery to learn, maybe be an aprentince or something. (I'm 15 years old)...

Thanks! Thanks everyone! I feel welcome :chef: I'm looking forward to strengthening my cooking skills! Today I'm making a batch of chocolate chip cookies, recipe by Alton Brown from food network. Hopefully they'll turn out!

Thanks! Those look delicious, I'm sure I'll be making a batch soon! :chef:

Hey! I've been trying a few whole wheat muffin recipes, but the results do not have the texture I think of when I think "muffins". They almost have the texture of a yeast bread. Is this how whole wheat muffins are supposed to be? If so, does anyone have a favorite recipe I could try for a...

Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum, and am having much trouble in finding the right chocolate chip cookie recipe. I would like a chocolate chip cookie that is not cake-like, not crunchy, but soft, dense, and chewy. How do I do it? I've tried plenty of recipes but none come out how I want...

Hey! I am a homeschooling student, and I LOVE to cook! I have especially enjoyed baking recently, and so searched for this forum to ask some of the questians I've had. I love to cook just for the fun of it, trying new ideas, but also to be a blessing to others. I am eager to learn as much as I...
