But my favorite cookie recipe is for Momofuku Milk Bar Compost Cookies - salty and sweet! <a href="http://www.browneyedbaker.com/2013/10/22/momofuku-milk-bar-compost-cookies-recipe/" rel="nofollow">http://www.browneyedbaker.com/2013/10/22/momofuku-milk-bar-compost-cookies-recipe/</a></p> <p>Also these brownies are delicious and easy:<br /> <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2012/08/my-favorite-brownies/" rel="nofollow">http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2012/08/my-favorite-brownies/</a></p> <p>Sadly, I seem to have lost my sweet tooth during my pregnancy so far.

I just made cookies like this but added white chocolate chips in addition to semi-sweet chips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-thing-to-bake#post-1216399 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:56:44 +0000 cmomma17 1216399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: some of my fave recipes come from real simple magazine by the way. they are all online I believe. My fave are double chocolate chip cookies (cocoa powder in the dough). Yummmmmm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-thing-to-bake#post-1216387 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:54:46 +0000 luckypenny 1216387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: can't go wrong with a good cookie :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-thing-to-bake#post-1216217 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:27:42 +0000 cmomma17 1216217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cookies cookies and more cookies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-thing-to-bake#post-1216207 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:24:50 +0000 luckypenny 1216207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: WHAT!? this sounds amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-thing-to-bake#post-1216127 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 15:02:19 +0000 Alivoo01 1216127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>S'mores pie!

Just don't fill it up all the way? It won't have the traditional madeleine cookie shape though of course. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-thing-to-bake#post-1216083 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 14:52:10 +0000 luckypenny 1216083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: ooh! I haven't tried making these before! I need to buy a special pan though right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-thing-to-bake#post-1216042 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 14:36:36 +0000 mediagirl 1216042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Toll House cookies. The original recipe is so comforting. I'll also cook oatmeal choc chip. This is my fave recipe:<br /> 2 sticks butter<br /> 3/4C sugar<br /> 3/4C brown sugar<br /> 2 eggs<br /> 1 t vanilla<br /> Scant 3/4 cup flour<br /> 1 t baking soda<br /> 1 t salt<br /> 3 heaping cups quick oats<br /> 2 C choc chips</p> <p>Mix wet ingredients. Add dry ingredients. Bake at 375 for 10+/- minutes. Best when still slightly gooey out of the oven (for me, at least). :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-thing-to-bake#post-1216041 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 14:36:30 +0000 Lindsay05 1216041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rice krispie cake because its just so easy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-favorite-thing-to-bake#post-1216040 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 14:35:57 +0000 BoogieBea 1216040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>madeleine cookies.

BUT, I can agree on eating just about anything sweet. So, give me some good ideas of treats I can bake!</p> <p>I love cookies, brownies, and cakes. I'm not big into frosting, lots of gooey caramel, or nuts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-parties-at-daycare-with-sweets#post-365944 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 10:23:41 +0000 mediagirl 365944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes parents at my daycare will bring in treats for birthdays. I plan on asking them not to give her anything I don't bring with me until she's a year old. After that, I'll be more lenient about it.<br /> ETA: I think if you just ask them, they will go along with it. They should understand and go with your wishes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-parties-at-daycare-with-sweets#post-365921 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 10:09:31 +0000 IcebergMom 365921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept everything "bad" away from my LO until age 12 mos. now we have the occasional treat at parties just to be social and to keep her from being the weird kid and keep me from being the uptight Mom. :) </p> <p>I've seen so many 6, 7, 8 month olds at parties eating cheezies! Scary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-parties-at-daycare-with-sweets#post-365909 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 09:59:16 +0000 T.H.O.U. 365909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: Yes, that is one of my concerns. I don't want her to feel left out. I don't mind the occasional treat but she hasn't had juice yet and the only sweets were homemade "healthy" cookies and her birthday cake. It just seems around the holidays there are lots of parties. </p> <p>Daycare is good at asking parents to bring some healthy options like bananas so I know there will be some good things for her to participate in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-parties-at-daycare-with-sweets#post-365901 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 09:53:48 +0000 T-Mom 365901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think what you are suggesting sounds unreasonable. Our day care never allowed treats even for birthdays or holidays at that age. Hopefully your LO will not be upset if she sees other kids getting those things though? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-parties-at-daycare-with-sweets#post-365890 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 09:45:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 365890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you plan on limiting the sweets that daycare/school/family members give your LO during holiday parties? I think I might draft a note to the teachers asking them to please only let her have fruit at the party. I just don't know at the age of 1 she should be having juice and cupcakes. </p> <p>Any suggestions on how to handle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/candy-hearts#post-72941 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 14:22:56 +0000 carrieknitscake 72941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them. They remind me of my birthday. I always stock up on them. They're tasty!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/candy-hearts#post-72877 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 10:24:07 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 72877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @sorrycharlie. I like them just for the nostalgic effect :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/candy-hearts#post-72847 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 09:55:18 +0000 chopsuey 72847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the hard candy hearts that have letters that pop out. The original softer hearts with imprinted wording isn't as yummy to me. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/candy-hearts#post-72838 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 09:43:54 +0000 sorrycharlie 72838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! I don't think they're the best candy ever, but there's something childishly satisfying about them ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/candy-hearts#post-72836 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 09:40:16 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 72836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like those hearts either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/candy-hearts#post-72824 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 08:54:57 +0000 tequiero21 72824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm with @artbee - don't like those hearts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/candy-hearts#post-72822 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 08:52:04 +0000 heffalump 72822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't love the hearts.

Which are you favorites? </p>
