Baking Cookies

What are other materials that you might use, other than an aluminum cookie sheet, to bake cookies? I am a cooking and baking novice mainly. But, when I do it, I really get into it and love it!

Dear Kae,

Thank you for your answer! Do you mean using wax paper in the oven? I know that I have heard of using wax paper, but what to you put it on? I always have to look this stuff up because I have trouble remembering about how to do it since I don't do it all that often. It is nice to be able to discuss these things with "live" sources of information! Thank you!

My favourite cookies are cocoa, oatmeal and coconut. I mix the ingredients, heat them in a pot on the stove (double boiler preferably, but not necessary), then drop them by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. They are awesome and I never burn myself!

Sometimes I use a pizza pan and make one giant chocolate chip with nuts (and sometimes marshmallows) cookie. When I used to babysit I would tell the kids we were having pizzas for lunch and they would get so excited because they knew that one of them was my famous giant chocolate chip cookie with secret messages on top (done with the marshmallows or with a thin chocolate icing printing)!

Hugs, Didi

Wow!!!! I didn't know that you can do that. I'm going to try that next time I make cookies. I made Banana cookies earlier. I didn't even know there was a banana cookie til I found the recipe in one of my son's Highlights book. And they taste pretty good to.

Comments on this post
Clough agrees: I didn't know that there was a banana cookie either!!

How did you do "secret" messages? What made them so secret, please? Actually, this kind of subject may be best left to some other types of threads that I am going to start as we approach the major holiday seasons of various faiths. I usually host the neighborhood Christmas party at my home. I will be looking for good suggestions from this site concerning certain things. But, since you have offered and I have asked, I don't see the harm in discussing about your cookies here.

I am still wondering about the use of the waxed paper, though?

I just baked the cookies in what I think is a rectangular pizza pan. But, I'm not really sure...

Okay, here you go.... don't tell my mom I gave you this recipe!

Chocolate Coconut Cookies

Bring to boil the following ingredients:

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk

After boiled, add to 3 cups rolled oats, 1 cup of coconut, 5 tablespoons of cocoa, a pinch of salt and a dash of vanilla.

Once mixed, drop onto waxed paper and chill.

Enjoy!

Hugs, Didi

Secret messages were just little things I wrote to the kids with chocolate icing that I piped on, just like you would pipe "Happy Birthday" onto a cake. I would do silly little games with them, usually to encourage them to read. They could be jokes, or clues to finding a new toy or activity. With the younger children I would make shapes, 3 letter words or simple math questions with the marshmallows and if they guessed them, they could have that piece of the pizza! You have to make learning fun, you know!

Hugs, Didi
