About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
Anything for desserts. I can cook on the grill, in the broiler, and stovetop, but still, my favorite thing to make is all desserts.
My cooking triumphs
My father used to brag about a cookie that my Great Grandma used to make. I begged her daughter for the recipe (which was difficult, since grandma measured in handfuls and eyeing), and attempted to make it myself. I thought they were absolutely delicious, but they were an extremely difficult cookie to make without seeing someone make it first.
My cooking tragedies
When I was younger, I could never remember what it meant to cream sugar, so for awhile, I used to melt the butter before I added the sugar, and my mom always wondered why my recipes didn't turn out quite like they were supposed to.

Braided Egg Bread
The recipe was ENORMOUS! It mad two huge loaves. It was very good but a little dry, so I think next time I will try a previous tip and add potato flakes. I did brush the top fo one with egg white and honey, and the other with egg white and cinnamon and sugar. Made them much better, but I think next time I will incorporate the items into the dough as well.

Fabulous Orange Cake
I made this as mini-cupcakes instead of cakes, and chopped up the chips so they weren't overwhelming. The cake is extremely moist, and I would reccommend no icing or topping at all, just serve hot with vanilla ice cream to complement the flavors. Also, I put a whipped cream cheese frosting on half and a fluffy, mild chocolate frosting on the other half of the cupcakes, and everyone enjoyed both variations. However, I did make a change to the recipe as I could not get Liqueur; I just substituted an equal amount of unsweetened orange juice concentrate, plus 1/4t orange extract for a little extra orange.

My Favorite Sugar Cookies
I loved this recipe. It was simple and delicious. I reccommend rolling the dough out at least 1/4" thick to make a nice soft cookie that taste store-bought (in this case, a good thing) They were a little bland without any frosting, but are excellent with.
