Spiced Pecans or Walnuts

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:50:58 -0400

These spiced pecans are very popular, particularly at bake sales. I don't remember where I got the recipe, but I've been making them for at least thirty years. The hardest part is not eating all the nuts as they cool. -- posted by Desert Baker

Peanut Butter Blossoms

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:32:55 -0400

I found this recipe from Home Cookin' With Dave's Mom (David Letterman), and it's a keeper. I made some with almond kisses and some with regular, and I used half chunky and half creamy peanut butter. I also substituted butter for shortening because it's what I had. It's a dangerous peanut butter cookie. Serving size is estimated and assumes one cookie, but good luck with that. -- posted by AmyZoe

Un Kurabiyesi - Melt in the Mouth Turkish Shortbread Cookies!

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 12:07:29 -0400

In North Africa & the Middle East are many variations of the humble shortbread, they all go by different names but are all very similar in taste & appearance. This Turkish recipe is very similar to my favourite Algerian shortbread called Ghraybia. I also like to make these using 2 cups of Self Rising flour (omitting the baking powder) & to use a mix of 3 tbsp ghee plus margarine to make 2 cups (when doing this I omit the vanilla as I like to taste the sweetness of the ghee). -- posted by Um Safia

Almond Roca

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:37:23 -0400

My daughters' mother in law makes this at Christmas and it is the best homemade candy I've ever had. The measurements for the chocolate and almonds are approximate. Also you can use your favorite chocolate here, dark or milk as well as your choice of nuts. I recommend that if you have a BBQ with a side burner to take this outside to cook as it does start to smoke when it reaches the crack stage. Enjoy! -- posted by Raelene's

My grandma used to make these with my sister and I all the time. As kids it would be great fun kneading the dough together: we'd take it in turns. A simple yet delicious butter biscuit, popular with all ages, and perfect for any occasion! They'll keep for a long time but are best fresh and warm out of the oven. They probably won't last too long anyway! -- posted by Chef #1315010

Savory Spiced Shortbread Bites

These tasty little cocktail nibbles are irresistible with a nice glass of sherry by a winter fire, and everyone simply loves them. I wish I could remember where I found this! Possibly *Gourmet* magazine, years ago? No clue. They are more spicy than sweet, but the hint of sugar is just enough. I like to make lots of these to keep around for unexpected holiday guests...they keep a long time in a cookie tin. -- posted by La Dilettante

Pomegranate Mountain Dew Jelly

This is a fun jelly that combines the taste of pomegranate juice and mountain dew soda. This is a great tasting cocktail, but even more surprising and great tasting as a jelly. I created this recipe because I had just a bit of pomegranate juice left from my pomegranate jelly making, and mountain dew because I wanted to try the mountain dew recipe listed on the site. -- posted by Whitney Donohue

These granola bars have about 4g fiber and 4g protein in a serving, and make a great snack. -- posted by Chef #1360260

Rich and Chewy Pecan Pie Muffins!

This recipe came from Trisha Yearwood, who married Garth Brooks and wrote a cookbook called Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma kitchen with a forward by Garth Brooks himself! Gotta try these! :) Be sure to use paper liners in the muffin tins and spray them with nonstick spray; otherwise, they will crumble when you peel off the liners. This recipe also makes great mini muffins; just shorten the baking time by 5 minutes. You might also try using oat flour instead of all purpose for a healthier muffin. -- posted by Sharon123

New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 14:31:23 -0500

This is my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. The New York Times did a big article on the perfect chocolate chip cookie, interviewing and sampling several famous chocolate chip cookies at various bakeries. Several tests were done; larger cookies (such as six-inch affairs) scored better, as did letting the dough age for 24 or even 36 hours (up to 72 hours). A small sprinkle of sea salt was also recommended. I usually make 3 huge cookies and divide the rest of the dough in half, wrapping it in saran wrap. Also, I've cheated a bit at this recipe and used plain flour instead of the two types of flour, as well as neglected sifting the flour. I don't have a paddle attachment on my mixer. I also usually use chocolate chips. You still achieve the very special taste, but the presentation is nicer when you follow the recipe exactly. From New York Times, July 9, 2008. -- posted by Alexis L Sutter

The puffs are piled high on a plate and a bowl of whipped topping is served with the puffs. Note: Let loaves set a while and use a serrated knife. or,, you can wrap and freeze when cool and take out to thaw before giving as gifts or before serving. -- posted by Montana Heart Song

Sweet Mustard Sauce

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 01:43:42 -0500

I had this as a dip with baked chicken tenders. The recipe calls for 1/4 cup dry mustard. This is very hot, so I cut down to using 3 tablespoons. Because it has mayonnaise, I find it very different than regular mustards. Make sure you stir constantly. I checked some of the mustard recipes but did not find one with mayonnaise included. -- posted by Toni in Colorado

1200 Watt Microwave Peanut Brittle

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:49:17 -0500

Bravo to Love2Eats Peanut Brittle in a Jiffy #58383 - it got me started, but with the adjustments for my higher powered microwave and some flavor changes I thought I should write my own recipe. I can not say how much Love2Eats note about having everything measured out and ready to go was a life saver. I use an 8 cup pyrex measuring bowl with a handle as this mixture bubbles up and gets very hot (bowl gets very hot too) - it is MOLTEN SUGAR- if your work area is not right next to your sink - have a bowl of ice water in case of burns. THIS RECIPE IS FOR A 1200 WATT MICROWAVE. Oh yeah, I sorta faked it on how many this will serve - it is habit forming. -- posted by Sandy in Dayton

Rachel's Fantabulous Nesquik Peanut Butter Chip Brownies

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 16:46:22 -0500

I love how well Nesquik lends itself to baking! This recipe is wonderful for doubling to take to parties and potlucks. Concocted these based off my Pink Brownies recipe, except no additional cocoa powder is needed because there's already chocolate in them. Prep Notes- you can use self-rising flour if you omit the baking soda and salt; AP and cake flours need them or else it won't come out right. If you take out the butter and use all applesauce, use another 2-3 TB or else there won't be enough moisture. If using just one serving of applesauce, those little Mott's single serves are awesome. Can also sub 3 egg whites for the eggs. And of course, the peanut butter chips are what makes it special, but sub regular chocolate chips for traditional brownies. -- posted by the80srule

Foam Biscuits (Cookies) by Brianne's Nanna

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 23:54:12 -0500

Many many years ago my daughter brought home a recipe that was shared at her kindergarten class by a little girl called Brianne for her nanna's biscuits. The note at the bottom of the recipe made it worth keeping all this time & although I have not made this yet I thought that someone may remember them from their childhood. The note reads: "This makes lots & lots of biscuits. My nanna had 5 children during the war and she used it lots so she could feed the children. She never bought biscuits all her life. Nanna always made these for all her grandchildren's birthday parties and they are my favourite biscuits. by Brianne" -- posted by Catherine Robson

These are so good! So easy to prepare too! They kind of look like little mountains when you drop them onto the waxed paper. You'll love them! -- posted by FLUFFSTER

Sweet and spicy - a great quick snack. Best to keep in an airtight container for about a week at room temp. -- posted by katew
