Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsWanna help me pick out my next baking dish?
So I've been on a kick with desserts lately. And now with the holidays officially coming I want to do a lot more. So here's two recipes I got an idea for.
Hot cocoa cookies. Normally made with marshmallow fluff, mini marshmallows and chocolate chips.
Or
Lemon cherry bars. Cherries inside the bar but using lemon extract in the bars for that lemony flavor.
What do y'all think would be best this coming week to bake?

SheltieLover
(57,073 posts)Perhaps you should open a bakery?
vercetti2021
(10,150 posts)But oh we have so many here and I'm still a beginner

(57,073 posts)I'm not going ANY further south.
Went to MS one day (sadly, nearby), out of necessity, for business.
Wasted trip dye to stupidity.
So I said, "For Christ sake! I just drove here for nothing!"
Audible, sharp gasp & glares.
Fuck that, V!

(57,073 posts)Such a shithole, I literally cannot go into a grocery store without car being vandalized, & I'm in a "nice" suburb.
Common practice here to have someone sit in car to babysit it.

(10,150 posts)I didn't think it was that bad
SheltieLover
(57,073 posts)Last I saw.
Yup. It's that bad.
I hate it here. Planning to sell house & move back to NC next summer.

(57,073 posts)Stupidity is overwhelmingly rampant here. TN not in play that I know of.
I seriously could not have comprehended this level of stupid before living here.

(57,073 posts)That's for sure!

(10,150 posts)Well...I wish I wasn't so far off in Texas I could. I do enjoy baking a lot. Its comforting

(10,150 posts)I will if you'd like!
Laffy Kat
(16,354 posts)I will also give you my honest opinion.
hedda_foil
(16,368 posts)Can I have the recipe? Pretty please with marshmallows on top?
vercetti2021
(10,150 posts)I mean it's your basic lemon bar recipe but you add canned cherries! Just chopped up not too big
badhair77
(4,191 posts)post any recipes. 😊 They both sound delicious.
vercetti2021
(10,150 posts)I'll post photos this week of one of the finished products!
lillypaddle
(9,580 posts)No artificial flavors. If you make lemon bars, leave the cherries out and use real lemon juice.
vercetti2021
(10,150 posts)For just regular bars? I can do that. Cherries was just something on top of adding to give it a twist!

(22,755 posts)save the hot cocoa cookies for next week! they both sound great
I love to bake and I have a small stand out by the road where the baked goods go- for passersby to enjoy for donation... cinnamon rolls, scones, cookies are going out in the cool weather... key lime bars are a favorite in the summer
vercetti2021
(10,150 posts)I want to visit now! Those look delicious

(10,885 posts)I've never been a chocolate fan, and the marshmallows would put me over the Yuk Scale.
I {{{shiver}}} just thinking about all that cloying sweetness.
Look at it this way: I'm leaving more for y'all.
