MFP cookie Swap

ILiftHeavyAcrylics

Thanks! Can you please tell me how to post the picture so I too can post food porn pictures!

Made a yummy chicken pot pie the other night in cast iron skillet and took a picture (not relevant for cookie swap thread but wanted to post it on another thread!)

Take your url and put image tags around it like this.

[ i m g ] http://www.picture.jif [ / i m g ]

Only take out the spaces. It can't have any space in the link either, that confuses MFP. So if you've got it in a photobucket album called Mobile Uploads it won't work until you move it to a different folder or rename the folder to something without spaces.

Hmm.... ok, let's try.

Its hard to tell from my computer screen but it looks like you might have a } instead of a ]

(probably hit the shift by accident). Other than that it should work.

ETA- I can't get it to work either . Idon't know but it looks GOOD



2nd edit - I have no idea what I did differently, but I got it.

I did the first time but the second time I didn't. Ugh. Probably a hint that I should get back to work and stop playing around with pictures of cookie dough dip from Pinterest...

Oh, I figured it out.

You had img in brackets at the end. It should be /img in brackets at the end.

First one is img, last is /img. I can't do it with the brackets cause you won't see them unless you quote.

Oh lord. What do you dip in it? I think I'd just eat it with a spoon. The way God intended.

Serve it will graham crackers, apples, pretzels, or just a spoon (again…how I like it).

Yummy! I've been inspired to try to make macarons now. And those lemon cookies on the first page look delicious!

You have to grab just the image, not the whole page.



But you got the tags perfectly! :flowerforyou:

Bumping for recipes!

i've never eaten a macaron before, but i've always wanted to make them because i love how beautiful they are. and it's just ridiculous how french they look. i mean come on.

I need this.

I'm in the same boat--never had one but find them mesmerizing. I seriously couldn't contain myself while I looked up more macaron pictures.


Anyone willing to take requests and let me live vicariously through your baking adventures?

Not to sure where you guys live, but I'm sure there's a bakery near you. I highly suggest trying them before you make them.
This is the first batch I made.


They *look* right, but they tasted like garbage! hahaha
Proper macarons have a crunchy exterior and chewy interior. The cookies tend to pick up the flavor of the filling so I don't eat mine until the day after I make them. They taste soooo much better. The cookie itself has a nutty flavor. They're pretty sweet since it's mostly sugar but you can cut down the sugar a bit (that's what I do). :flowerforyou:


@RivenV If you lived closer I'd make some for you haha :sad:

Making these ones again tomorrow found the recipe on: http://www.bakerita.com/chocolate-coconut-caramel-bars/

CHOCOLATE COCONUT CARAMEL BARS



INGREDIENTS

1 cup unsalted butter, melted (2 sticks)
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 cups (12 3/4 oz.) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (2 oz.) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup caramel bits or chopped caramel candies
1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup + 1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 9-by-13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, spray with cooking spray; set aside.

2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, about 1 minute. Allow the butter to cool for one minute. Add the egg, sugars, water, vanilla, and stir or whisk vigorously to combine.

3. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and stir until just incorporated. Fold in the caramel bits.

4. Reserve about 1 cup dough; set aside. Turn remaining dough out into prepared pan, smoothing it lightly with a spatula. Mix 1/2 cup coconut with the sweetened condensed milk. Pour sweetened condensed milk mixture over the top of the dough. Using your fingers or a small cookie dough scoop, lightly crumble the reserved cookie dough over the top in marble-sized chunks. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup coconut over the top.

5. Bake for about 27 to 30 minutes, or until center is mostly set and the coconut is golden brown. The sweetened condensed milk should nearly be set in all places, but possibly a little loose in the very center of the pan is okay. Bars firm up more in pan as they cool; don't overbake because you want these to stay soft and gooey.

6. Allow bars to cool in pan for at least 3 hours before slicing for the cleanest cut marks (use foil overhang to lift out).

7. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir. Melt in 10 second increments, stirring in between, until completely melted. When fully melted, place in a small Ziploc bag, snip the corner, and drizzle chocolate over the bars.

8. Extra bars will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

bump. Great recipes!

These are Deb's Favorite Brownies, and they are mine too. One Bowl, 30 minutes and you have heavenly homemade brownies. I have to be totally honest, every time I made homemade brownies prior to these, I wished I had saved myself the trouble and made them from a box. But these, truly are the only Brownie Recipe you will ever need:

http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2012/08/my-favorite-brownies/

3 ounces (85 grams) unsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped
1 stick (4 ounces or 115 grams) unsalted butter, plus extra for pan
1 1/3 cups (265 grams) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt or 1/4 teaspoon table salt (about 2 grams)
2/3 cup (85 grams) all-purpose flour

Heat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment, extending it up two sides, or foil. Butter the parchment or foil or spray it with a nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium heatproof bowl over gently simmering water, melt chocolate and butter together until only a couple unmelted bits remain. Off the heat, stir until smooth and fully melted. You can also do this in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each. Whisk in sugar, then eggs, one at a time, then vanilla and salt. Stir in flour with a spoon or flexible spatula and scrape batter into prepared pan, spread until even. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out batter-free.

Let cool and cut into desired size. If you’re like me, you will prefer these and all brownies, cold or even frozen. But I bet you’re normal and will just eat them hot from the pan. If desired, dust the brownies with powdered sugar before serving.
