Some amateur bakers often ask if they can freeze or chill their cookies & cookie doughs. Of course, you may chill or freeze your cookie mixtures but not all cookie mixtures turn out to be successful when frozen.

Avoid freezing cookies with cream filling, meringues and any cookie mixture with a beaten egg white as one of its ingredients. Freezing or chilling these types will not be good because egg white in cookies tend to separate when they’re frozen. Although other kinds of dough/cookie mixtures become even better when frozen.

If you want to freeze or chill your freshly-baked cookies, you may cover them thoroughly with plastic and put them inside a freezer/ziploc bag. Another way to store these yummy cookies is to place them inside a clean container but divide each layer with

Gluten Free Dairy Free Sunbutter Truffles

First do no harm. This is the physician’s motto. It may also be a pretty good motto when it comes to gift giving.

One would never consider giving a person with a fear of snakes a boa constrictor as a gift or a person with a fear of heights a trip to the top of the Empire State Building and yet every year at holiday time diabetics are given boxes of sugar filled chocolates, vegetarians are sent gift packages containing summer sausages and salami and the gluten intolerant are presented with lovely gluten-filled cookies and treats.

These Sunbutter Truffles fit the bill of first do no harm but more than that, the opposite is true – they will help – THEY ARE GLUTEN FREE!  They will spread joy and happiness this holiday season. Personally, I can’t wait to see my darling little nephew

Home Cooking – Easy Tips To Get Authentic Flavor In Short Time

Even the best cooks cut corners sometimes. Time is short in the modern world and we all need some quick easy recipes and techniques if we want to cook at home.

A great deal of the time involved in cooking is actually spent in washing up afterwards. So some of the best quick and easy techniques involve avoiding making more mess than necessary. Use foil where ever you can in roasting trays and griddles. The foil can be removed and thrown away so that food never gets burned onto the pan. Try using platic bags for marinating food. That way you will not have another dish to wash. In the microwave try using teflon coated paper or baking parchment to cover the carousel plate.

Do not dismiss good quality frozen produce. Even frozen mashed potatoes have their place in the modern kitchen.

How To Frosting

Why do some people find frosting tough? A few of the common reasons include paucity of time, impatience and the lack of right kind of tools. Like cooking any recipe, for frosting a cake too, you need prior preparation and some amount of organization before you take the plunge. Here are some tips to make the whole exercise of “how to – frosting” simpler:

Ensure that the cake and the frosting are properly cooled. This means that the cake should be cooled for at least four hours or may be for overnight. The right kind of tools include a spatula made of stainless steel which can also be replaced by using a butter knife, as this too has a flat surface. If the cake layer is dome-shaped, slice out the dome with a serrated knife to flatten the surface. Also remove any batter bubbles formed during
