Salt should be omitted from the gingersnap recipe? Did you try it with, and didn't care for it? We have a molasses/ginger cookie recipe we do on occasion. So good!!
 
Yes, the orginal recipe has it, but then after that I left it out.

What else do you want??
How about my award winning recipe? ;)

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 ounces semisweet chocolate
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Oven rack in middle of oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with foil.
Microwave both chocolates and butter in a medium bowl on high for 1 minute, then stir. Repeat at 30 seconds intervals until chocolate and butter have melted and mixture is smooth. (Or melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth). Let cool slightly.
In another bowl, with mixer on high speed, beat eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt and baking powder until lighter in color and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low and beat in chocolate mixture (which may still be quite warm). Add flour and beat just until blended. Stir in remaining ingredients.

Don't flatten tops.
Bake 9-11 minutes, no longer. Surface will be dry, shiny and cracked, but inside will be soft.
Slide foil off cookie sheet onto countertop. Cool cookies on foil, or remove to a wire rack to cool.

How about my award winning recipe?
Will it make the neighbors think I'm good? That I actually know what I'm doing in a kitchen? :p The fact that my neighbor is a Meriweather whizz in the kitchen and I'm actually thinking of baking HER goodies, is really rather amusing... :blush:
 

Oh! You sneated in with it! :p CHOCO-LATE! Oooooh! I'm going to turn into a giant puff ball this Christmas! :blush: Nancy, that sounds WONDERFUL!
 
Christmas does that.....cookie heaven!! :teeth:

Okay, I need to get dressed and go grocery shopping....need to set in those baking supplies ;)
And the DIS has shut down on me 3 times, so I think it is telling me to get off :wave2:
 
Hi folks! Now before we get to feeling too bad for Lainey, let me mention that she has called me, not once, but two different days while she was on Splash Mountain to let me know how short the lines were and let me hear the music. :teeth:

She just casually mentioned the great weather, of course.

Somehow getting "bagged" at 50's Prime Time wasn't mentioned......

It sounds like everyone has been having a great time from what I see.
 
Nancy--quit it!
You're making me hungry..:duck:
Time to raid the fridge...

Pity Elaine?--isn't this (at least) the 2nd time shes went this year? :umbrella:
:duck:
Have a safe trip back everyone.. :cloud9:

And add lots and lots of barbecue sauce! ;)

Cookies, cookies, cookies! My Mom's the world's greatest cook and baker (she often laments on where she went wrong with me! :blush: I think it's due to the fact that she never allowed me in the kitchen because I am "too messy!) But her lupus has really knocked her down and she can't bake that much any more. :(

It's our 22nd Anniversary today (DH and me) and my Mom's birthday. DH and I are going to Pittsburgh tonight for one of the riverboat dinner cruises. Tomorrow night we will have Mom's B-day party.

Have to leave to get my hair done!
Mad love to all!! :flower1:

Sounds like a good piece on 60 Minutes, Kim. Wish I had seen it. :( I always thought Evanescence sounded a bit.....Christiany. Is there such a thing? Anyway, you know what I mean. LOL I like Switchfoot alot and also POD. And, of course, Third Day. :) And I saw Scott Stapp from Creed in a Christian magazine the other day. :) Love his voice. :)

Christmas Cake Recipe
---------------------

Ingredients:
1 cup of water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup of brown sugar
lemon juice
4 large eggs nuts
1 bottle Vodka
2 cups of dried fruit

Sample the vodka to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the vodka
again. To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and
drink. Repeat.

Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy
bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it's best to
make sure the vodka is still OK. Try
another cup .... just in case. Turn off the mixerer.

Break 2 leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.
Pick fruit off floor. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck
in the beaterers, pry it loose with a drewscriver.
Sample the vodka to check for tonsisticity.

Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Who giveshz a DARN.

Check the vodka.

Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a
spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find.

Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over.
Don't forget to beat off the turner.

Finally, throw the bowl through the window, finish the vodka and kick
the cat.

Fall into bed.

CHERRY MISTMAS!
