Pillsbury Ready To Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies

My theory is this — if I have to turn the oven on, I consider it to be homemade.

 

[Jimmy Mouse]

I was about to bake some chocolate chip cookies but decided to just eat the cookie dough.

@Skippy918 - Nice looking sheen.
Finished making three 4” pans of vanilla layer cake and stuck them in the freezer for Easter dessert.

Cherry and coconut cupcakes for a cherry and coconut lover's birthday!

...And chocolate fudge cupcakes for the rest of us who either don't like coconut or don't like cherries!

We baked the chocolate chip cookie recipe from the grand Floridian. We rate them as a great success.

Baking question:

My DS took a cooking class and his teacher said that a "dry" cup is a different measurement than a "liquid" cup. I went to my Pyrex measuring cup and measured a cup of water, then poured it in to my plastic dry measuring cup and sure enough, it was slightly different.

Has anyone else found that? Is it time for me to invest in a new set of measuring cups or do I just have to be more diligent in what I measure in which cup?

It is. So when baking it requires exact measurements. Put flour in a dry cup and then into the glass one to see the difference and it is also different for wet .

Just made a box of Betty Crocker brownies and added in chocolate chips and walnuts. I was just looking for something chocolatey for dessert tonight that i already had on hand.

Rhubarb pie. Lots of it growing in the backyard.

Husband only likes it with rhubarb no strawberry combo like they sell everywhere.

Made a red, white and blue tie dye cake that called for just egg whites and with the egg yolks that I didn’t need for the cake I made homemade vanilla pudding

absolutely different measurements. You need both dry measuring cups and liquid measuring cup. It does make a difference in the final product.

Americas Test Kitchen has the best cinnamon roll recipe with cream cheese frosting. I have been baking them pretty often. I was always afraid to use yeast recipes but this only calls for 30 minutes rise time. They taste very similar to Cinnabon ones. Yummy

The Cinnamon rolls look amazing! Mouth watering.
I only made GF blueberry/choc chip muffins.

Made an Angel food cake from scratch, used my biggest bundt pan and it still over flowed. Turned out delicious, although the top somewhat stuck to the pan. Oh well...will be great with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.

Love this idea. Please share!

Thanks to both of you. I honestly didn't know that. I mean, mostly I use the right one, but once in awhile I have the dry one out and just use it for the liquid, too, but now I won't do that.

If you want to be really precise when baking, weigh your dry ingredients with a kitchen scale. That's what we do here. Even measuring cups can vary in how much they hold.
