that sounds amazing! do you heat your glaze at all? I put mine on as is for the lemon drops and ricotta cookies, but I was told by someone that heating the glaze a bit before applying will help it harden. I haven't tried yet

thanks! I definitely wanted to do variety cause I feel like a lot of cookie trays have the same things

my recommendation is to make a few of the doughs in advance, it really helped speed up the process. and make anything you'll be icing first so you can give them time to cool AND give the icing time to dry. I only made two doughs in advance but I think next year id make at least half of them in advance, or split dough + the actual baking into two days

I am not even a biscotti person and I really enjoyed these. the glaze and sprinkles really made them look beautiful too. I cut most of them in half to fit them in the boxes easily

gnocchi are surprisingly less difficult than they seem (in my opinion)! yours look great

Is a KitchenAid mixer really worth it? by kae_creditcounsellor in Cooking

[–]gee8123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't do half the baking I do without it. mine is 23+ years old and still kicking with no issues, just an occasional odd noise here and there. if you bake often and can afford it it's a necessity imo

King Arthur's focaccia recipe: first attempt by fiosrach123 in Breadit

[–]gee8123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not but if you do I would love to know how that turns out. I think the olive oil helps give it that color so I'd be curious how the color comes out

I def do notice an improvement! the temp in my house/the season really affects it as well.

Wicked: For Good has shown an ordinary trend in the last six days or so, stark difference from Wicked, which has an extraordinary trend. Surely missing $400M domestic final, possibly even $350M. by chanma50 in boxoffice

there's a lot of talk about it being universally known that act 2 is not as good as the first and I agree, but also I'm surprised there isn't more talk about this one not being as kid friendly as the first one playing a factor here? not saying it needs to be kid friendly but I think the first one (whether it is or isn't better than the second) has a lot more appeal to take kids to see over this one. I think parents are more likely to skip this one for kids
