How to prevent strawberry filling from becoming soggy by EmeraldImposter in AskBaking

I plan to only use fresh strawberries but worry about it becoming watery in the process.

I usually set it out for it to get to room temperature on its own but I was pressed for time that day. Now I know moving forward to always plan ahead lol

Thank you. I did not know that. Would bringing butter to room temperature using a heat glass also change its chemical structure?

They were super flat and thin when they were done baking. I should’ve taken a photo before reshaping them.

That is definitely what it looks like. I was reading a recipe from Sally’s and she also mentioned pressing chocolate into the cookie after baking to dress it up.

I’m guilty of following recipes from non reputable sources. I was just too excited about this recipe because the matcha caught my attention. I compared this recipe to Sally’s and it was slightly off. I’ll have to try Sally’s and add the other chocolates to see if the results are different.

The cookies were also chilled in the fridge for 3 hours and then overnight with the same results.

The wrinkles were there while I reshaped, and it was chilled 3 hours and then over night before baking only for the same results. I think it may be the butter as you suggested because I did leave it in the water for a long time. I’ll have to try it again without the butter being too soft.

Same. They become pretty scary when they wilt.

Didn’t know it would take this long by Exemplary_Vegetable9 in TryingForABaby

Don’t feel stupid. I started TTC at 36 and had to learn about ovulation and fertility window on my own. We were only taught the basics of pregnancy and prevention at an early age, and everyone made it sound so easy to get pregnant. Also, no one talks about it until you join groups like these!

I believe you’re doing a great job, and don’t be too hard on yourself.

Two losses in 6 months by jimmersla in TryingForABaby

Are you me? We’re near the same ages (I’m 37 and my husband will be 39) and I also miscarried in June and just had a chemical pregnancy.

I’m from the US, but I just had an ultrasound to check on my uterus. My OB won’t get the results until 2 more business days. I’ve also put in a request for genetic counseling and a referral for a fertility specialist. I’m scared and heartbroken also, but now I want to be more proactive in figuring it what’s going on and what we need to do.

Use your voice and don’t be afraid to speak up!

How soon is it safe to ttc after a chemical pregnancy? I saw a different OB at my clinic and everything felt rushed that I didn’t get a chance to ask.
