Anyway, it's very easy to google should anyone be interested </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cookie-weekend#post-1866213 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 02:34:46 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1866213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, that sounds yummy but i don’t know what form of coconut you mean. Maybe it’s better this way. Otherwise I wouldn’t fit through our door to go get ingredients to make more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cookie-weekend#post-1866202 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 01:24:11 +0000 kerlyn 1866202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne...oh yum! &nbsp;I'd better not make that. &nbsp;I'm guessing I wouldn't be able to stay out of it!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cookie-weekend#post-1865988 Thu, 07 Dec 2017 04:32:15 +0000 anne 1865988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kerlyn, I guess coconut ice isn't a baked product. It's more on the lines of fudge.<br />There are several ways to make it (including on a stovetop) but my easy recipe uses </p> <ul> <li>4 cups icing sugar</li> <li>3 cups coconut</li> <li>1 tin sweetened condensed milk</li> <li>1 tsp vanilla</li> </ul> <p>Heat the condensed milk in a microwave safe bowl, add the other ingredients til mixed and put in a flat slice tin (height can vary, about an inch is common) and chill in the fridge and then cut into square. Often made in 2 different colour layers, the classic being pink and white, but I don't bother. </p> <p>It's a big overeating trigger for me, very sweet and not that much fat to restrain me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cookie-weekend#post-1865949 Thu, 07 Dec 2017 02:04:57 +0000 kerlyn 1865949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful cookies! &nbsp;And you and your mother look so pretty too! &nbsp;</p> <p>Anne, what is coconut ice?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cookie-weekend#post-1865904 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 22:44:57 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1865904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gigi, I can’t think of anything more festive to start the holidays off. You get to engage with shapes and exuberant colors of the season, think of the people you’ll give them to, and have a lovely, ginger-scented house for a day or two!<br /> Hope yours turned out well!</p> <p>BC, this recipe didn’t call for eggs, but we did use butter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cookie-weekend#post-1865777 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 15:53:33 +0000 Anonymous 1865777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My DD is on a foray into vegan baking, so she's trying different cookie recipes. One was a colossal failure. The cookies were too soft, and I think it was because she used Earth Balance margarine instead of Smart Balance margarine. Earth Balance has water listed as the second ingredient, and contains noticeably less fat. She's going to try to make cookies again this weekend--different type and different recipe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cookie-weekend#post-1865694 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 10:40:20 +0000 Gigi 1865694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What beautiful cookies! They look absolutely delicious.</p> <p>I've got gingerbread cookie dough in the fridge chilling for tomorrow. I've never made gingerbread cookies before and felt like trying something new! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cookie-weekend#post-1865299 Tue, 05 Dec 2017 02:43:45 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1865299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the color love. We have always done “serious” cookie baking and decorating, maybe because Dad gets involved. Rachylou, that’s high praise, coming from a (semi?) pro baker.<br /> Anne, all that ginger sounds delicious, and Danuisa, if you make your own pizzelles, I’m impressed. I buy them at World Market the rest of the year, so I can tell myself I’m having a cookie for a fraction of the calories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cookie-weekend#post-1865188 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 20:15:19 +0000 rachylou 1865188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! That is serious cookie baking! They look super pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cookie-weekend#post-1865154 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 18:28:21 +0000 Anonymous 1865154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG! They look so scrumptious!!</p> <p>I am making a batch of vanilla and a batch of dark chocolate peppermint pizzelles, as well as a batch of pecan kisses. I am making my apricot walnut rugelach for New Years. I used to make a huge variety of cookies in the past that I used to give out with Christmas presents, but our family has dwindled so much in the past few years due to deaths. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cookie-weekend#post-1865114 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 17:01:38 +0000 Joyce B 1865114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your cookies are gorgeous! You look fab and happy and your Mom looks beautiful. That was a lot of baking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cookie-weekend#post-1865086 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 15:17:42 +0000 anne 1865086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We'll probably make gingerbread, so no surprise that it was your oatmeal with ginger ones that stood out for me flavour wise! I recently made some oatmeal cookies with ginger though them&nbsp; and white chocolate drizzed over that tasted amazing!! (I've recently got into gingerbread lattes too, after hearing about them from a colleague who's in London, who abhorred the thought of them! I, however don't like coffee, so I liked to disguise the taste if I need do drink it to keep awake).</p> <p>Since we often give edible gifts in the family I'm sure my daughters will be cooking, and I think one of them is planning to make chocolate dipped peppermints. But I've put my foot down and said no making coconut ice - my self control is all but lost when that's around! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cookie-weekend#post-1865083 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 15:17:17 +0000 Angie 1865083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW. Those are the most colourful Xmas cookies I've seen. How fably festive. Eye candy.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your Mama looks gorgeous in that picture.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cookie-weekend#post-1865068 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 14:00:01 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1865068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge, please have some cookies! I ate enough this weekend to feed an Arctic village all winter. And I think you caught me calling my mom/ her dress part of the decor. Horrors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cookie-weekend#post-1865048 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 12:12:35 +0000 Inge 1865048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh I'm coming over!-) The cookies look beautiful, and delicious! And it's so lovely to see your Mum! (Fun that you found some unconscious outfit inspiration in the decor;-)</p> <p>In Belgium we don't really have a holiday cookie baking tradition, but I could always start one, of course... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cookie-weekend#post-1864969 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 03:26:45 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1864969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Visited my parents to make Christmas cookies this weekend. Made gingerbread, sugar cookies, and oatmeal thumbprint cookies with candied ginger. They are all yummy, but what I really overate all weekend was my mom’s curried pecans. YUM.</p> <p>I’d never noticed it before, but my the colors I’ve been wearing recently are accent colors in my parents’ tastefully neutral decor. I wonder if that’s why I’m so drawn to those colors—they were imprinted in my subconscious. </p> <p>What kinds of cookies are you making? </p>
