C&K*s Mommie replied: Are you trying to cause sweet tooths to work overtime??

ETA: I love snickerdoodles

cameragirl21 replied: ohhhh, i LOVE snickerdoodles, i prefer eating them to baking them though.
i like to bake blueberry muffins and cupcakes, must be something about those paper cups that i find appealing.
i also like to decorate cupcakes, just like a little kid.

Our Lil' Family replied: I love baking too but it's too hard for me not to eat what I bake so I don't do it often. I love baking cakes, or cookies!

coasterqueen replied: I only bake on rare occasions, because if I didn't I'd be fatter than I am now.

I love to bake muffins, mostly blueberry and banana nut.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: I like to bake cookies. Any kind, but mostly chocolate chip, peanut butter, pumpkin chocolate chip or sugar.

hoosier momma replied: Chocolate chip cookies are by far the favorite for my whole family.

Calimama replied: Cookies, muffins, cakes.. anything. When I'm the one baking I dont want to eat too much of it.

msoulz replied: I have a super easy banana bread recipe in which I put chocolate chips instead of nuts (boy doesn't like nuts) whenever I have two overly ripe bananas.

But I would love to have a nice chocolate chip recipe that I couldn't screw up that made fluffy cookies (mine are always flat!).

Esther made those last week in her cooking class, they were good I wish I could bake as good as she does I make the dinner and she makes the dessert! I tried baking a few times and.....when the food was done, it didn't even look like food

sparkys2boys replied: I love to bake, and do it alot!!! I can't narrow it down to one or two things..lol!! Cookies, cakes, fancy desserts.. you name it.. I have tried it!!

DillsMommy replied: I can bake some awsome chocolate chip cookies, if I do say so myself.
Everything sounds so yummy, anybody want to share some recipe's...

TANNER'S MOM replied: I am not a baker..at all. I grew up with my father only and we were meat and taters kind of people..but right now you can have my first born if you send me a snookerdoodle..llolol

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I bake at least once if not twice a week. It's usually chocolate chip cookies, sometimes double choc chip cookies and banana bread. Brownies too or a pie of some kind. YUM! DH gave me a cookie jar for Xmas...I think he is hinting something to me!

CantWait replied: I love making chocolate chip cookies.
Dh loves when I bake banana bread

ZandersMama replied: I love making gingerbread, and homemade bread. My little boy LOVES gingerbread men, he calls them man-mans.

luvmykids replied: I looooove sweets so I bake as often as necessary Everything, cakes, cookies, pies, candies.....

And I learned a trick from my grandma...she always doubles the recipe then freezes half so she can throw a batch of cookies in the oven at a moments notice.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: OMG I bake almost everyday.

We usually have on hand, at any point in time, about a dozen of oatmeal muffins, honey bran muffins, blueberry muffins, apple scones, raisin scones, garlic and cheddar scones, peanut butter cookies, chocolate brownie cookies, oatmeal cookies.

Almost everyday we eat bread of some kind - my favorite to make are loaves of bread flavored with basil or rosemary, banana bread, cinnamon raisin bread, garlic bread, banana bread, and of course plain ole white bread. I've made garlic breadsticks,,, but they're too time consuming for my taste. I make biscuits pretty regularly too, since we have chili-type dishes fairly often... about 3 times a week I guess. I like making crescents too...but those I buy frozen at Costco, and take some out the night before I want to make them so that they have time to thaw and rise properly

Less often, I make brownies and cinnamon rolls, but those are usually for dh or ds to take in their lunches.

PrairieMom replied: I love making molten chocolate cake. It is super easy, just mix in one bowl, it makes 4, but you can refrigerate it, so I bake them 2 at a time. We wait until the Boy goes to bed then bake them. Super easy and super yummy. Of coarse, now I am on a diet, so I can't have one...

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Ooooh I have one that makes the most amazing cookies... they freeze extremely well too, both before and after baking... theyère nice and chewy, like brownies.

They're also very kid friendly... I get the kids to help roll the little balls.

HuskerMom replied: My favorite to bake is peanut butter cookies or cornbread. And I don't bake this but I make a mean cherry cheesecake

msoulz replied:
Please, do share! Is it in the recipe thread?? Don't just tease me now!!

Edited because I can't type!

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I don't ahve it with me (I'm at my mom's), but it has 2 cups of chocolate chips, 6 tblsp of butter or margarine

It's a chocolate cookie, not chocolate chip though... dunno if that's what you were looking for...?

msoulz replied: It sure sounds good to me! When you have a chance I'd love to have it. I am sure my son would enjoy baking and eating. Thanks a bunch!

JadensMama05 replied:
Seriously!! LOL!!

I don't bake much but I'm stopping by all your houses tomorrow!

moped replied: I will share my recipe for the cookies in the morning - I get lots from allrecipes.com - but when I get on in the morning i will share!

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Here's my cookie recipe... sorry if it's a little hard to "get", I'm translating it from french.

#1:
2 cups melted chocolate chips (also works well with peanut butter chips, but not with butterscotch chips)
6 tblsp soft margarine
1 cup sugar

#2:
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

#3:
1 1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

#4:
2 eggs

#5:
powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup, or more if necessary


Melt chocolate chips in the microwave, 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each time, until all melted and smooth. Cream together ingredients from #1. Add #2, and stir in. Combine ingredients from #3, and stir in to chocolate mixture. Add #4, and stir in so that everything is all mixed well into some sort of forming ball.

Freeze ball for about 20 minutes, or until firm. Make 1'' balls out of the mixture. Roll the balls in powdered sugar. Bake 9-12 minutes in a preheated (350*) oven, on an ungreased cookie sheet. 9 minutes for a really chewy brownie like cookie, 12 minutes for a hard crunchy cookie. I usually put mine in for 10 minutes.

Let them cool before you eat them... just a little... but these things melt in your mouth, almost literally.

msoulz replied: Mmmmm, thank you Rocky!
