    Today for my B-Day..

    Thank you Laurie. If you don't mind me asking, when you formed them into logs, how did you do it? I am assuming the easiest way to do it is take the all of dough and place it onto the cookie sheet. This is a little confusing to me since I am a visual person since I cannot see it, I am a little...

    Today for my B-Day..

    I used Penzey's lemon zest in the recipe. I will remember that idea of doing the logs instead of how I had done it. This was my first time making them and I already decided I'll be trying the recipe again in the near future to get it right because they are easy. Thanks for your help!

    Today for my B-Day..

    I decided to make homemade Lemon Biscotti and they turned out pretty good being as it was my first attempt. I was thinking about my great grandmother earlier today and this is something she does every time this year with it being the Easter holiday so I decided to carry on the tradition. I think...

    Insulated cookie sheet question

    I didn't like the idea with having them drizzled with anything to be honest. I preferred to have them plain and used for dunking in morning coffee. That is how I used to eat them since a child so it is mainly personal preference.

    Making anise biscotti.. have question

    Actually the recipe that is listed is something I stumbled across when I did a search on google. I can't recall where I found it but I saved it as it seems to be as close to something that would be close to what my grandmother would do for ingredients.

    Making anise biscotti.. have question

    I used to have them a lot myself as my great grandmother used to make them as well, fresh every week. When I moved out here to the mid west all of that went out the window and I haven't been able to find a decent cookie like that yet so I figure the only way I can do it is making them myself...

    Insulated cookie sheet question

    That's a good point. I was thinking about that earlier tonight myself so the tin foil should be okay and yes they are twice baked, you are correct.

    Insulated cookie sheet question

    Okay. Oh I surely will let everyone know how they work out and give the recipe if they work out well with my husband. He seems to be the person who tests everything and gives it the go ahead for the yes or no. Will be in the next day or so when I make them but will be in touch. Thanks for your...

    Insulated cookie sheet question

    If you visit the cookie section, I started a 2nd thread which I asked a question using this cookie sheet as I'm making anise biscotti. Yes you are correct however. I am curious if I need to have tin foil on it since it is an insulated piece of cookware.

    Insulated cookie sheet question

    Okay at this time all I have is tin foil. Is the use of tin foil going to be okay with it being used on the insulated cookie sheet as that's all I've got right now? I don't have any other type of cookie sheet.

    Insulated cookie sheet question

    Hello everyone... I have a question. I'm going to be posting two different questions in two different areas because I think it will be the best way to go about handling this. You'll see when I explain what I'm about to do here. Okay here is my first situation. I have an insulated cookie sheet...

    Post your Biscotti Recipes!

    Interesting. I've been looking for a recipe that is basic and not fancy with nuts. If anyone has such a thing and could post I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! Sue

    I'm 7 weeks into culinary school!

    You have a lot of courage in doing so and I wish you the best of luck. I have been considering the option of entering into hospitality just going about it a different way. Currently, I am a graduate student working on my MBA in business with a Bachelor of Science in IT. I've considered changing...

    Shipping cookies

    An option you might want to consider, rather than use a shoe box, pick up a tupperware container because they are more sturdier and they aren't that expensive either. You will have better luck at shipping them too because they can fit into a box as well. For example, my mom shipped cookies to me...

    My oven says 300 but thermometer says 375!?!?

    I have the same issues with my oven but the problem is the thermostat is off and needs adjusting. Of course, the oven is over 25 yrs old so that would explain why it's a little off kilter. I've actually thought about replacing it as soon as the weather breaks. Too cold to be handling anything...

    How do you like Chinese food?

    Yes, we eat it every so often. There are a few places we go to for take out here in town because they are excellent in what they do. My husband gets triple delight and I usually get something called seafood combo. There are a few other items on their menu we order it just depends upon what kind...

    Looking for opinions, German Cookbook

    I agree with you. If a recipe has a photo to show what it looks like it will make it visually appealing. I actually will try that recipe over others that don't have a photo especially if it is something of a new cuisine.

    The Food Network

    I overheard part of the issue was producer's attempt to pull viewers from an area that unfortunately was pushing away others. There is not enough of a mix for both to be satisfied and it is causing a loss of viewers. I agree with you, reruns are not going to make up for the current issues they...

    Question about icing instruments

    Okay, that makes sense. There are a few different size spatulas that I have which I can try out before purchasing something specific. Thanks for the info about that product, I'll remember that about the cupcakes if I ever purchase it.

    Would like to make cherry frosting

    what I was going to do was melt the chips into the buttercream and add them in. I forgot to add that.. my mistake. If they can't be melted first then added into the butter cream icing I'll have to do up a different icing all together then which is no problem, I was just curious since that is...

    Which appliance purchase was your worst mistake?

    Oh ya I remember those. We had that one and then we were given the newest one for a gift from my parents. It gets used frequently and hopefully we'll get an outdoor grill set up this year. My husband does the cooking of the steaks every weekend otherwise, it doesn't get used.

    Which appliance purchase was your worst mistake?

    Oh ya, we picked one of them up to see what they were all about. It does work but not necessarily something that I would be making use of frequently as I prefer the old-fashion way. As for the bread makers, I have one and use it on occassion. It works quite well and I've never had any issues...
