OKAY SO LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE SHITTIEST COOKIE RECIPE ON THIS GOD FORSAKEN ROCK WE CALL A MOTHERFUCKING PLANET. So Ghiradelli, who was once a beloved and trusted name in my household, gave a chocolate chip cookie recipe on the back of their chocolate chip bag. Innocent baking fun, right? NO! ASSFUCKING WRONG! I did not deviate from their instructions because I trusted this demon possessed chocolate connoisseur of evil intentions and broken dreams. I HAD THEIR SHIT FUCK EGGS AND THEIR GODDAMN BAKING SODA! BUT IT DIDN’T MATTER! But I was still unaware as I prepped the betrayal dough to be put on the baking shit, like a lamb for slaughter. And I can remember, so clearly, me thinking “ungreased cooking sheet?” BECAUSE IT SAID UNGREASED BUT I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN!!! So I placed the balls of soon to be destruction and misery on the sheet and placed them in the oven. and waited. And then when I removed them from the oven THEY WERE MOTHERFUCKING PUDDLES ON THE MOTHER FUCKING PAN. I waited for them to cool, hoping they would come out in one piece and this monstrosity could be saved. But as I raised my spatula to slide the cookies out: pure carnage. IT WAS LIKE THESE ASS SHIT COOKIES WERE WELDED TO THIS SHEET! LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO REMOVE THE FUCKING SWORD FROM THE STONE! No cookie was spared. And this. THIS is what I have to live with now. My once baking innocent is shaddered, and I will never be the same, not since after the war. I can still hear the sound of the spatula scraping the sheet, constantly scraping
this is the angriest response to cookies i have ever seen
Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Bread
1 can of refrigerated Grands biscuits (not the flaky layers)
1/2 stick of butter
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Throw the cold stick of butter in a bundt pan and let it melt in the preheating oven.
While the butter melts, cut the Grands biscuits into quarters. In a bowl, toss the biscuit pieces, garlic, Italian Seasoning, and Parmesan cheese together.
Once the butter is melted, add the biscuit mixture to the pan, sprinkling with any cheese and garlic that gets let behind in the bowl.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20- 22 minutes until golden brown. Turn out on a dish and enjoy!This is just fucking genius.
oh god
So guess what I just made!

and it is DELICIOUS. Seriously. There is nothing at all wrong with this recipe at all. I love it. I will definitely be making it again.

I am currently ripping off chunks and dipping it in some leftover spaghetti sauce. DELICIOUS, I TELL YOU. A++

Total amount of time: ~10 minutes

- 3 tablespoons of butter

BLESS THIS RECIPE
So when I was like 11, I made a batch of cookie dough and tried to hide it in the fridge in the basement. Not one of my more brilliant ideas. This recipe, however, is brilliant. So quick and easy to make, and it’s a fairly small batch which I may actually finish before I even finish making this post.

I used a hand mixer because that shit is way faster and easier than mixing manually. That might be why this is so smooth, although the OP pics look pretty smooth, too. It’s a bit sweeter than I was expecting.
I didn’t add chocolate chips because like shit I just made cookie dough for the expressing purpose of EATING IT who wants to waste time opening a package of chocolate chips? However for purposes of science and also because my Roommate and I have somehow accumulated five bags of chocolate chips, I’ll go get some.

(ugh my camera is terrible)
SUCCESS the bittersweetness of the chocolate chips helps alleviate some of the super-sweetness of the dough. Alrighty, I’m going to go put this in the freezer to firm up a bit, and then DEVOUR IT.
A++ love this recipe!
Cake Batter Fudge
Ingredients
1 cup yellow cake mix
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) butter, cut into small squares
1/4 cup milk
sprinklesInstructions
Mix cake mix and icing sugar in microwave-safe bowl. Add butter and milk. Don’t stir.Microwave for 2 minutes. Stir immediately until completely combined. Add sprinkles. Do not overmix as sprinkle colour may bleed.
Spread into greased pan. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
Look I don’t know what kind of devil magic y’all were working, but this recipe was an extreme fail. First of all it barely made enough for half the squares on that plate on the bottom pic; secondly it never solidified but stayed a gooey mess; thirdly it looks like someone vomited into a pan and put sprinkles on it.

It tastes…. not terrible, despite all that. I refuse to believe it’s entirely my average cooking skills to blame and not the recipe, but I think I’ll leave the fudge-making to the professionals.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Torte - Recipe here

I saw this and I had to make it. It turned out really well, and was a huge hit. It was super rich and large and serves about 16-18 people.
There are a lot of steps to this cake, but none of them are particularly hard. I messed up twice and it still turned out well.
I used my own pastry instead of the cookie one, because we never have cookies in or house that aren’t homemade. That given, I would urge you to try the one they suggested. It would work really well.
I used instant coffee instead of espresso and it was fine.
I used candies peanuts and just didn’t add the extra bit of sugar it called for in the crunch.
I would cut out the nutmeg altogether and limit the amount of cinnamon. This cake is loaded with flavour and I found the nutmeg distracting and unpleasant.
It really needs the full four hours uncovered to harden. It was still a bit runny in the middle when we cut into it after the four hours, but the next day it was perfect.
It was a great cake and I am already planning to make it again!
Healthier Mozzarella Sticks!
What you need
- 12 sticks of string cheese in your choice of cheese, go for the low sodium kind if you want to be extra healthy
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp of flour
- 5 tbsp of bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp of parmesan cheese
- A dollop of olive oil, or cooking spray
Preparation
- Cut the cheese sticks in half, making 24 slices, then freeze the slices in the freezer until completely frozen
- Beat the egg in a small bowl. Use a separate bowl to combine the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese
- To bread the cheese sticks: First dip the frozen cheese stick into the flower, then into the egg, then into the bread crumb mixture
- Once all of the 24 sticks are coated, place them on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil coated with a few drops of olive oil or sprayed with cooking spray (this will keep cleanup to a minimum, and keep the sticks from sticking!)
- Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for about 4 minutes, or until crisp. They need to be watched closely so they don’t melt completely!
OMG I NEED TO TRY THIS
So I made these tonight!
Made a bit of a mess on my fingers with the egg and bread crumbs. Next time will make sure cheese is completely frozen; I think it’ll give the coating more time to get crispy before the cheese gets too melty. Very good and very easy!
