Fresh Baked Friday: Cookies & Biscuit Breads

Okay these bakes are from earlier in the week, but what can I say? I like alliteration.


First up was a second attempt at the Black and White cookie. I have a friend who was waxing poetic about them and of course I had to look them up. To me they are a deli or cafe cookie. The dough is actually more cake-like (legend has it they were originated from leftover bakery cake batter). The flavor is a a soft lemon/vanilla blend and the glaze is the type of thing that will wreck your kitchen if you don't prep your bake spaces appropriately. The first time I attempted this my kitchen looked like a small black and white war zone after. (I also made sure I purchased a small palette knife before this second attempt.) I found this recipe to be solid. Read through it and plan accordingly.

My son woke up with pukey migraine on Tuesday. It took him a while to get over this one but once he did he ate two of these.






Sausage, cheddar & chive biscuit bread muffins. The original form for this recipe was in a loaf. However reading the comments I saw they could be individual muffin biscuits using a buttered muffin pan for 30 minutes. Tasty. I have individually wrapped the remainder and put in a gallon freezer bag. They can be pulled out and split and toasted as  an individual breakfast item.


Last up, well ... since the oven was going I figured why not try that Martha Stewart oatmeal sandwich cookie? The "cream" is a simple blend of  cream cheese and confectioner's sugar. Still too "tangy" for my son's taste, so I softened some vanilla ice cream and with the same size small cookie scoop made ice cream sandwiches. I wrapped 6 of these individually and put in the freezer. Ready to go dessert during the week :)


Here we are Friday. :)

  7. I have always loved Black and White cookies. Have you seen the Seinfeld episode about them? Sorry about the migraine...he's so young to suffer. I hope they get a better handle on them with his generation. Does he get nauseous too? That stinks. I love Zofran for nausea...if you need some.

  8. Please come to my house and bake a few things - I'll make room in the freezer for the excess.

    Migraines used to wipe me out, so I feel for your son. I hope he feels better today.
