Anyone have an actually good recipe for those classic store "sugar cookies"?

You know the ones, super soft cookie, extremely sweet and oddly chemical frosting on top. Usually can find them at Costco or BJs or whatever, sometimes has sprinkles or whatever on top.

I want to try and make those but actually good and not whatever Frankenstein-cookie you're getting in that package.

Barely got any trick or treaters this year :( what do I make with the leftover candy?

I have TONS of snickers,milky ways,Twix,tootsie rolls, whoppers, and candy corn. I want to do something more original than just cookies, maybe a cheesecake, or layer cake? Or maybe milkyway brownies? I’m not sure. Thank you in advance!

How to change between self raising flour to normal flour + baking powder?

I tried to bake a cake I used to make when I was younger but because I changed continents, the flour is different and I can't find a way to make it work properly...

The recipe is quite simple, 2 cups of self raising flour, 1 of sugar, 1 of milk, 2 eggs, 200g butter.

But I can't get the same fluffiness with baking powder... And the flavor is also not quite right... Any advice?

I also change from a gas oven to an electric one, so I'm still adapting, but I want to make that cake because my mom taught me...

Brownie success!

I agreed to make brownies for a friend's party yesterday, but was a little nervous because I hadn't used my gas-powered stove for baking before. I used the BBC Good Food "Best Ever Brownie Recipe with slight amendments (I'm currently living in central Africa and couldn't source the three types of chocolate it dictated. I managed to find the perfect moment when the sheen has appeared on the top and there's still the tiniest bit of doughy softness to pull them out of the oven. People I didn't know at the party were complimenting me on them! So pleased!

Need Show-Stopping Spring Bread Ideas for a Baking Competition!

Hello yall,

I'm entering a bread making competition through my school and found out it's only being judged on looks not taste 😂. (Going to commence around spring time) The ideas I had, had some striking flavor and not very extravagant designs. My question is do yall have some recipes for some really extraordinarily looking breads. I'm no rookie in the baking scene so would love a challenge. I need a total of three breads but do plan on doing a braided challah bread. All help greatly appreciated!

Desperate for Wilton Filigree Garden Gazebo cake kit

As a 2025 bride I REALLY want to make my own wedding cake and my dream is to use the Wilton Filigree Garden Gazebo kit. I've only seen two listings (etsy and eBay), both sold and one only had some (?) parts. Who would've known it was such a rare relic! I've tried almost every site- Poshmark, Mercari, eBay, Etsy, FB Marketplace (checked all over the US!)... I'm so desperate lol.

Does anybody know where I could find one?! If not since they're SUPER rare, something similar? I really love the arches and design of it!

Substituting Sugar Syrup for Granulated Sugar

Hello! I was wondering if anyone could share any tips for using sugar syrup in baking recipes instead of regular sugar? I have made some flavoured simple syrups and am trying to find fun ways to use them but there don't seem to be many recipes I can find designed to use sugar syrups. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks. :)

Made a pineapple upside down cake!

Haven’t had one of these since I was a kid and I was craving one like crazy. I followed the recipe from Preppy Kitchen. It tasted pretty good, just wish it was more moist. Will attempt again in the future!

Any health conscious recipes using Black/Dutch Processed Cocoa?

Hello,

I recently bought some black Dutch processed cocoa because I love the flavour of it, especially in the cookie shell of Fudgeeos. However, most recipes I find use a lot of butter and sugar and I'm trying to be more health conscious.

Any recipes (example: biscotti) that use a lower ratio of butter or sugar, or replace some of the fats with yogurt or olive oil?

Thanks

Searching for a cookie - grains, cherries, no bake and sticky?

I had this ‘cookie’ at a cookie swap party when I was like 12 and too anxious to ask for the recipe. From what I remember, it was a sticky, assuming no bake, hand rounded ‘cookie,’ made with rice or grains with maraschino cherries incorporated in it? I know this is an awfully vague description, but if this sounds familiar to anyone please let me know!

Won't cake syrup make the cake taste sweeter?

I saw a recipe where you boil water with sugar then pour on top of a sponge cake to make it moist, won't it add more sugar to it?

Kouign Amann what went wrong?

First attempt at making Kouign Amann, inside was pretty doughy. Used the Dominique Ansel recipe.

Dough after the initial mixing was like super sticky. All the videos make it seem like it shouldn't be that sticky.

I'm assuming the cause of the doughy ness was the butter melted into the dough during the rolling/folding parts? Should I refrigerate after each fold?

Any other tips for a newbie?

Bulk Spices

I just recently began buying bulk spices from my grocery store. They bag them up in a plastic baggie, but what’s the best kind of container to store them in for freshness? Obviously it’s too much for my regular salt n pepper size glass seasoning jars 😂

White chocolate blondies (maybe with raspberry)

Hello, we are thinking to give some of the our family friends white chocolate blondies as a return gift (supposedly my husband has bragged about my white chocolate blondies, and have sort of already told them that will make some for them soon)

The problem I only made them once from a random recipe online (which i’m unable to find now) and personally thought they very a bit overcooked and cakey.

Can someone please help me with a nice recipe? Bonus if it has raspberries in it?

Also how many would you make for 20 ish people?
