  1. Thankyou! Simple recipe.... turned out well. I needed some mexican desserts for a mexican themed lunch that I'm helping out with, so these worked perfectly. My biggest thing was experimenting with the different piping attatchment to figure out which one made the cookies turn out the best. I found that using a widest/ biggest one worked well. Thanks again!
     
  2. I love this recipe for cat's tongue! 1/4 cup of egg whites is about 2 egg whites. Make sure you beat them very well!. I suggest lining the pan with parchament paper. Make sure you watch the oven very well!
     
  3. Great
     
  4. I made a double batch of this recipe with no problem. The cookies tasted really good; my kids loved them. Only thing is, you need to line the sheets with parchment paper or they will stick to the pans, and watch them closely because the cookies baked up thin and crisp, so if left in the oven even a minute longer than necessary, you may end up burning them.

Hey Everyone! Greetings from Sunny Singapore! I'm am so glad to have found this site. It is waaaayyy better than other sites I've been. I have about 240 cookbooks and my faves are the older cookbooks I got from my mom as I prefer from scratch cooking. I have created several cookbooks dedicated to the use of eggs. I have come across a number of recipes requests for using up lots of eggs. So there they are. http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/123897/Backtattoos.jpg The above is a picture of me at my office's Annual Christmas cum costume party. I won first prize with that orange costume! The one with the (fake) Tattoos was taken in Dec 2007 when I again won first prize. I love spicy food and the many different kinds of chilli dips different foods calls for!! Love baking, cross stitching, trying my hand now in shoe beading and patchwork and now doing a course on aromatherapy. Oh and am now trying to raise a flower and herb garden but it is not easy as I am a newbie at that too! In some of my recipes, you will note that there is a letter in brackets at the beginning of the name. This is what it means : (A) : Aromatherapy/Homeopathic/Less toxic I'm not crazy about recipes using pre-mix cakes as I am a more from-scratch person. My recipes will have the local name (when applicable) as well as the anglicised name, eg "Au Nee (Sweet Yam Paste). If I had a month off, I'd be in Texas.
