Southern Sweet Iced Tea

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

At last! A good recipe that does not require simple syrup! I never had sweet tea until I moved to California (strange since I was born in West Virginia) but I quickly became addicted and would take an hour's drive to the nearest McDonald's that... — Cathleen Colbert Jun 29, 2009

Bisquick Chocolate Chip Bars

Posted by daggersmommy  

I tried this with Bisquick Mix and it was a disaster. They were greasy and smelled bad and tasted worse. No stars because I don't think it's the recipe's fault. Just a warning. — Cathleen Colbert Jun 18, 2009

Strawberry Jam

Fresh and surprisingly not too sweet (despite the amount of sugar). Even my mom liked it and she doesn't eat jam or jelly. — Cathleen Colbert Mar 31, 2009

Iced Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies

Posted by JamesDean'sGirl  

I mixed these twice. The first time they melted into a giant soupy mess that ran off the tray and burnt on the bottom of the oven. The second time they melted and spread out to nearly 3 inches before they started to set. I'm not at any elevation... — Cathleen Colbert Dec 20, 2008

Peppermint Patties

Posted by ImACookingDiva  

Despite having some problems (not the recipe's fault!) in coating the patties, these were a big hit at my Christmas party. I will be making them again. After all, practice makes perfect. — Cathleen Colbert Dec 18, 2008

Date Truffles (Madgooga)

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by hoda  

Used a food processor in place of the food grinder. Couldn't afford cardamom so I used half cinnamon and half nutmeg. I used cocoa, coffee, sesame seeds and coconut to coat them. My DB said he liked the sesame the best. He ate two before I could... — Cathleen Colbert Dec 15, 2008

Italian Sesame Seed Cookies

Posted by Maureenie  

A crispy cookie with the nutty flavor of toasted sesame seeds. I added too much water so the dough was too soft to roll. Besides I'm too lazy to roll, cut and then roll in seeds. I used my cookie scoop and rolled the balls in the seeds. I'm not... — Cathleen Colbert Dec 14, 2008

Chocolate Pecan Caramels

Posted by looneytunesfan  

This is the best caramel recipe ever! It takes a certain amount of benign neglect unlike most caramel recipes and produces a beautiful, creamy caramel. — Cathleen Colbert Dec 13, 2008

Brigadeiros

Posted by Catwhispers  

There was no way I was going to roll my beautiful, glossy candy in chocolate sprinkles! For the more scientific cooks out there, the candy thermometer read 240 when I pulled it from the heat. It takes some patience but the constant stir resulted... — Cathleen Colbert Dec 7, 2008

Nut Thins

Posted by Brew City Chef  

A lovely cookie with crisp edges and a cake like center. Very mild flavor. Be very careful about oven temperature and time as they can burn easily. — Cathleen Colbert Dec 6, 2008

Apple Yogurt Coleslaw

Posted by STK FD WIFE, A.TITUS  

Something different. Guests enjoyed the crunch of the apple. I think I will try apple cider in place of lemon juice next time. — Cathleen Colbert Nov 29, 2008

Brownie Biscotti

Posted by andypandy  

Had some problems slicing and flipping. The center was still very soft both times and they tended to break. Excellent flavor. I've never made biscotti before and these were easy. i'm just worried that they aren't dried enough. — Cathleen Colbert Nov 23, 2008

Triple Fruit Cookies

Posted by Cynna  

With spices and fruit this cookie screams Christmas. I agree with Diana - crispy outside with a tender center. But I will add nuts next time. I am also going to glaze with an orange cookie glaze for some added glitz. — Cathleen Colbert Nov 22, 2008

Sugar Free Gummy Worms

Posted by 89240  

Fast and fun. Kids loved stirring until all the lumps were gone. I would have had to make a batch every 20 minutes to keep up with demand. Even the adults could not keep out of them. I used lime jello and lemonade kool-aid. — Cathleen Colbert Jun 17, 2008

Strawberry Cookies

Posted by newspapergal  

Really not suited to high altitude baking. The batter was sticky and runny and the cookies spread out so much they were almost crackers. They were easily scorched. — Cathleen Colbert Jun 11, 2008
