Answer 1

Once these cool i dip into melted chocolate and let the chocolate set before eating

Coconut Macaroons

14 ounces sweetened shredded coconut

14 ounces sweetened condensed milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 extra-large egg whites, at room temperature

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Combine the coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla in a large bowl. Whip the egg whites and salt on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until they make medium-firm peaks. Carefully fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture.

Drop the batter onto sheet pans lined with parchment paper using either a 1 3/4-inch diameter ice cream scoop, or 2 teaspoons. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Cool and serve.

U can melt 1 bag semi sweet chocoalte chips then dip cooled cookies into chocolate. Place on wax paper to set

i'm 14 and i love cooking my favorite thing to make is banoffee pie to make it you need:

10 digestive biscuits

3oz butter

2 bannans



tin of caremel

whipping cream

small bar of chocolate

first crush the digestive biscuits with a rolling pin untill small little pieces.

melt the butter into a small pan. add the butter with the biscuits and stir.

then grease a round tin and pour in the biscuits. then press down onto the biscuits so they are tightly packed in the dish.

then spoon the tin of caremal on top of the bisuits and spread evenly

chop up the bannanas and place evenly on top of the caremal.

whip the cream until thik enough to spread

then spread over the bannanas.

finally grate some chocolate over the top of the cream.

and you have the perfect banoffee pie...

Answer 3

I would suggest you check out some cookbooks from the library. The best of these will give you more than recipes and tell you how flavors work together, and give advice on technique.  Some good books include: "Baking by Flavor," "In the Sweet Kitchen," and "The Baker's Dozen Cookbook."

I worked at a bakery when I was in high school, but where I worked teens were hired only to work the front counter, scrub pans and a few other things like weighing cookies.

Show:   Paula's Home Cooking

Episode:   Peaches

Peach Cobbler

4 cups peeled, sliced peaches or a huge can of canned peaches

2 cups sugar, divided

1/2 cup water

8 tablespoons butter

1 1/2 cups self-rising flour

1 1/2 cups milk

Ground cinnamon, optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the peaches, 1 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Put the butter in a 3-quart baking dish and place in oven to melt.

Mix remaining 1 cup sugar, flour, and milk slowly to prevent clumping. Pour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle top with ground cinnamon, if using. Batter will rise to top during baking. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes.

To serve, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

I know it is not a dessert - it is actually a bread recipe, but it is quick and easy and very tasty if you feel like trying something savory.
