Anybody have a tried and true biscotti recipe -- one that would work well with some dried cranberries in it maybe? My mom and niece both LOVE biscotti and my mom loves cranberries so I was thinking of making some to include in the holiday treats going to their place this year.......

X 2 - so yummy - just made a batch last weekend! Super simple and delicious.

Yep, a cobbler is topped with pastry (or "biscuit top) while a crisp/crumble is topped with a streusel topping.

SO not a fan of fondant -- yes, it's makes for some great decorating, and can be fun to work with, but BLECH!!!!!!!

I've used this recipe for things and, yes, it does have a tendency to bleed a bit, but it is SO nice to work with and I love the flavor.

Could not agree more - probably among my favorite things to make. There is just nothing better!

Yep! The applesauce makes them so moist and yummy. The texture and flavor is almost more like a spice cake than most cookies. 2 cups applesauce 1 tsp baking soda 1 cup butter 2 cups sugar 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp nutmeg 1/2 tsp cloves 1 tsp vanilla 2 eggs 3 1/2 (approx) cups flour 2 cups...

So glad it was a success! I was blessed with dozens of little old lady relatives who schooled me in homemade pie crust from the moment I was big enough to stand on a chair in the kitchen and pie crust is one trick they put up my sleeve (helped land me a husband, lol) -- once you have from...

Happiness is....applesauce chocolate chip cookies in the oven I try to do some sort of baking every weekend and this weekend I invoked "baker's choice" and am making one of my absolute favorites. More than any other recipe, these ARE my childhood - so many memories in one little cookie - I...

Great question - my son wants to make a gingerbread something this year (not sure if it'll end up a house, barn, coop or truck, lol) -from scratch. We've done the crappy hobby store kit stuff, but we're going to do it for real this time, so any recipes, etc for the ginger bread pieces would be...

YUM! Homemade rolls are always the biggest "seller" at any meal I make them for. It's funny to me what a treat they seem to be to some people, because I grew up in a family where homemade breads are the norm.

LOL - I have to hide from my pets sometimes. sunflour - you could make him a cat toy out of yarn that he can play with ONLY while you knit (so it's new and exciting, not just the same old toy he sees all the time) - though if he's anything like my cats you'll have to pretend he's really not...

Tossing this out there as a shot in the dark --- several years back I had picked up a recipe for sugar cookies from another member of an online group. Eventually the group sort of drifted apart and I lost contact with this particular person and then I lost the recipe. What was so special about...

Gee, now I *have* to make this one too..........darnit............lol

Thank you for sharing that, jknox - can't wait to try it out.

Anyone have a tried and true (and fabulous) carrot cake recipe? I have made all nature of cakes but this one and have a co-worker/friend who adores carrot cake. Her birthday is coming up and she's going through a really rough time right now, so I was hoping to make this year's birthday treat...

diastatic malt powder - you can find it on amazon, at Whole Foods, several online suppliers, etc. This talks about the hows/whys of using malt: http://www.wildyeastblog.com/2010/06/02/get-your-malt-on/ ETA - this even talks about how to make your own http://www.dryit.com/diastaticmalt.html

I absolutely LOVE baking - breads, cakes, cookies, pies - the works. I think that is half the reason my husband married me - or at least why he stays married to me, lol. I don't/won't even eat half the stuff I make, but I enjoy the process of doing it.
