After a mango Day 24, I am back with a vulnerable cookie moment. Vulnerable because this cookie involves frosting, something I suck at. I am so bad at it that I accidentally made a poop cookie 😭 I posted it online, got some good roasts, and then deleted it from 2-3 places.

What I did today:
- Made brownie cookies - 70g brownie batter + 10g choco lava centre made up of chocolate chunks.
- Had leftover vanilla frosting, which instead of putting in a piping bag (can't afford another failure), i simply put it in a bowl and used a spoon to scoop it.

My vision: A brownie sundae, but does it look like it? What else can I do to improve it visually?

Tasting Review:
It's going to be biased, but I absolutely loved it. I feel I should send some of the cookies to you guys and see if the cookies actually taste decent or if I'm just imagining it. Any of you live in Delhi NCR?

Learning:
A small learning: don't give up on something (frosting for me) if you are not able to do the ideal way. Find your own ways to do that, and you might have created something.

Thanks for reading! 🥰

Got an airfryer so baked cookies today. Tasted good for my first time.

Gooey fudgy brownies

Tried for the first time . Turned out really good . No added refined sugar.

After a quiet Day 23, I am back with a mango cookie 🤓 As the mango season is ending, I want to pay my tribute to this summer fruit. Pardon for the bad videography 😢

What I did:
- Made 6 cookies; every 2 had some alterations.
- First 2: 50g dough + 5-6g dried chopped mangoes
- Second 2: 50g dough + 5-6g dried chopped mangoes + 5-6g white choc chunks
- Last 2: 50g dough + 7-8g white choc chunks
- I also made a mango frosting to layer my cookies with. And had some leftover mango puree/mango chunks.

Learnings:

1. Cookies with fresh fruit-based topping have much less shelf life.
2. Generally, the rule is to keep the frosting and the cookie separately and put the frosting on before consuming.
3. There's also a concept of cold cookies, so in case you like your cookies cold, put the frosting on the cookie and store it in the refrigerator in airtight conditions and consume it within 1-2 days for the best quality.

Tasting Review:
- The white chocolate (sweet) and the yogurt (tangy) frosting go super well.
- The little mango chunks in between give a nice experience too and add to the chewiness of the cookie.
- My personal favourite: 50g dough + 5-6g dried mangoes with the frosting.
- Without the frosting, I didn't enjoy the cookie as much tbh because the dried mangoes were a little less in quantity, and so I wasn't getting the taste of mango.

Thanks for reading :D

Tried this simple floral design using buttercream and a small paintbrush.

I like how the brush strokes give the flowers a slightly hand-painted look without making the cake too complicated.

Still practicing the technique, but quite happy with how this one turned out.

Made these almond-date chocolate bites recently and they turned out much better than I expected.

Just dates + almonds, coated in melted milk chocolate and finished with a little chocolate drizzle. No complicated baking involved.

The dates give enough sweetness that you don't really need to add sugar, and the almond in the centre gives a nice bite against the soft date and chocolate.

I made these at home for Baked by Priti and thought they might be useful for anyone looking for an easy homemade sweet/snack.

Anyone else make these at home? What would you add to them?

Made it for friends yesterday, the whole cookie tub was finished in minutes 👉🏻👈🏻

Guys i am not a perfect cook , still learning but these were amazing

Recently, I attended a cheesecake making workshop and tried making one at home.
Cheesecake ingredients**:** D’lecta cream cheese, icing sugar, Silvermark whipping cream (recommended over Amul by the baker), Biscoff biscuits, and butter.

Biscoff Spread: Biscoff biscuits, condensed milk, milk, and butter.

The Issue: I made the cheesecake yesterday in a springform pan and left it in the mould. Today, I added the Biscoff spread and put it in the refrigerator. After an hour, the spread was still runny, so I placed it in the freezer. That firmed it up, but when I moved it back to the refrigerator, the spread started melting again.
My Question: Should I keep the cheesecake in the freezer and only move it to the refrigerator briefly before eating so it softens up? Did I do something wrong in making process?

Considering baking as one of the act of healing n self care.

Hi everyone! I’m looking to gift my mom a stand mixer. She’s a new baker, so it’ll mainly be used for cakes, cookies, buttercream and occasionally bread/dough. My budget is under ₹10,000. I’m looking for something reliable and easy to use, not just a machine with good Amazon ratings—real long-term user experience would be really helpful. Any recommendations or models I should avoid?

Also if there any recommendation for courses or tools i can gift her?
she is 55 and this keeps her busy 🙂

My mom just made 22 whole wheat Khunafa Choco Cookie Cups for someone's 22nd Birthday, and they turned out delicious. The chocolate used is coverture and not compound, and the Pista paste for the khunafa filling, also homemade.

Hi !

I recently bought an OTG oven from faber.. while baking this cake it was truly testing my patience 🙂.

I am not that familiar with the OTG oven settings. So, trying and testing out the things yet.

I baked a whole wheat cake using light cocoa powder. I removed the top part of the cake and then added the chocolate ganache along with white choc chips.

PS: my decoration and talking photo style is not good ☹️.. I was in a hurry to taste
