Baking With EGGs

Baking with Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists. Baking with EGGs.

I'm telling you, one day we'll get our own baking show on the Food Network. Doesn't everyone want to bake with us?

Ladies hard at work truffling.

Last year we made sugar cookies and gingerbread. This year, we couldn't possibly make the same kinds of cookies. The only option was to up the ante to seven delicious cookie recipes.

1) Ginger Molasses Cookies
2) Chocolate Peppermint Cookies
3) Caramel Chocolate Shortbread Squares
4) Sugar Cookies
5) Chocolate Truffles
6) Lemon Ricotta Cookies
7) Chocolate Caramel Thumbprint Cookies

Baking with us means variety.

Multi-coloured truffles rolled and ready for consumption.

Baking with us is interactive. In addition to rolling and shaping cookies, we also got to make thumb prints in the cookies. Deep little wells that will hold the chocolatey goodness of melted chocolate and caramel.

Filled with ooey gooey goodness.

Baking with us means we won't forget the classics. Who doesn't love a good ginger molasses cookie?

Baking with us means bringing out the festive cookie cutters. You may note that there are multiple versions of sugarmen and sugarwomen. Some are skinnier and more emaciated looking than others.

Can you find the not-so-festive shark?

Baking with us means you'll be everyone's favorite person. You'll have plenty of cookies to dole out to friends and family. Might as well share the joy!

Six out of seven cookies.

Baking with us means decorating. Get your creative juices flowing with multiple frostings, sprinkles and coloured sugars.


Now, I admit... If we ever want to make it in the big leagues on the Food Network, we are probably going to have to work on our decorating techniques... This year's batch of sugar cookies may be the most hideous creations known to man.

And these are the "good" ones...

If you're nice, maybe next year you can bake with us too!

  1. I demolished the cookies you gave me. Just decimated the entire cookie population of that zip lock bag... and I think the sugar cookie population is a less-hideous place for my snarfing work. Yeah delicious cookie genocide!
