What cookie to make with a cookie cutter?

I found a dog-shaped cookie cutter in my kitchen drawer and I’d love to make some cookies with it. Everything I find online is Christmas themed or more about the icing/decoration than the cookie.

I’m not a huge fan of just plain sugar cookies, they seem boring and a waste of calories. Some ideas that interested me were shortbread cookies, cinnamon or lemon flavored, or making jam cut out Linzer style cookies. Maple cookies sounded great but Sally’s Baking Addiction recipe says they really need maple extract, which I can’t get…

Any recommendations for cookies that show off a cookie cutter that aren’t plain sugar cookies? Bonus points if the recipe is relatively simple/has easy to source ingredients!

What kind of dough is this?

For my baking club this month, one of the challenges is food art, using this image as an example. Can anyone tell me what sort of dough this is, and even better, any links to recipes? I’m in the UK so recipes with grams and °C is preferred, but I’m not opposed to any recipes! TYIA!

Fry coating flakes off

Every time I want to fry something, like chicken or...pretty much anything, the coating mostly flakes off. I want to make calamari, so how do I really get that stuff to stick?

What type of vanilla do bakeries use for a vanilla pound cake, Madeira cake or any vanilla tea cake?

I love vanilla. I use beans for baking. However it's not always financially feasible. I have noticed that cakes from bakeries have a delicious vanilla aroma. Is it possible to replicate the same in budget? Appreciate any suggestions you can provide.

Can I add purées or fruit to cake recipes without making adjustments?

I’m making lemon cupcakes for Easter (I just use box cake mix with sour cream and pudding mix) and I wanted to add raspberry but wasn’t sure if that would affect the recipe? I’ve never used fruits in baking before and I’m scared to mess them up! Also any and all advice is welcome I haven’t baked in years and am just now getting back into it!

Brownies

Hi! So I made box brownies & the middle was simply not cooking well. I kept adding time & felt like it wasn’t doing that much. My toothpick was coming up clear everywhere but the middle.

So I ate a corner piece. It was a bit moist, but not runny at all. The consistency almost seemed as though I could roll it into a cake pop.

With this info, would you say these were done? Or at least safe to eat? I did not consume the middle piece.

(Cooked in a glass 8x8 dish at 350 for 45minutes initially & I did add some chocolate chips)

What am I doing wrong

First time making Croissant and they are coming out like this. I can think of a few things that I did that may cause this, one being possibly needing longer baking time than necessary (5600' alt.) The other thing is I rotated the dough 90° after folding the dough. I'm not sure if those are the issue here but I followed the recipie to the letter(colinary institute of american: baking and pastries).

Painting on sugar glass?

Hi r/baking! I'm not really around this sub but had a question. Could you use gel or water-based food coloring to paint on hardened sugar glass (like tanghulu)? I would probably be dyeing the glass itself white, letting it harden, then attempting to paint other colors on it. Is there any way to achieve this using "cheaper"/water-based dyes? Thank you for any input!!

Happy with the crumb, though I have a few tweaks to make.

Does anyone have a cookie recipe that suits me?

When I was a kid my mom would bring cookies from spinneys, they were crispy and chewy and not fat.

Baking cookies is not as common in my country so non in my family has a recipe, I'm no baker so I tried youtube but struggled to find what I want.

Sadly spinneys change their cookie recipe which led to a downgrade

Edit: by fat I mean thick in size

Bleach on aluminum pan

I had a raw turkey sitting on my brand new nordicware aluminum half sheet. When cleaning it I sprayed a bleach based disinfectant spray on it. It discolored immediately. I tried bar keeps friend and dawn dish soap and it looks ruined still. Is it safe to use apart from the appearance ? Tu.

How to: perfect lemon poppyseed muffins?

Helloooo everyone!

So my boyfriends lovely father recently suffered a heart attack (he’s okay). We are visiting him and I wanna bring him his favourite treat as a little pick me up - lemon poppyseed muffins. (Or a loaf/cake of some sort maybe?)

However I am not not a very experienced baker and given the circumstances I’d really love to not mess it up. If anyone has recipe suggestions or tips for absolutely nailing them I would be forever grateful.

Thank you all, nothing but love for you fellow redditors <3
