Thought I'd put the question here although it might be better elsewhere. Teacher's Appreciation week is next and I still haven't decided what I want to do. I thought making cookies would be boring because I've been doing that for the last few years. I give them cookies for Xmas and Teacher's Appreciation week. However, a friend said the teachers would appreciation home baked goods because they hardly get these. She suggest I could give brownies or cupcakes since I make good ones. Or fruit tarts because she'd want one or two if I decide to make these. :rolleyes: I've thought of the spice walnuts but nuts are expensive since there are many teachers to give to. So, should just bake them cookies like usual? Or something else?

Cupcakes. :yum:

I think I'd prefer the real fish and chips. :lol: Looks interesting. I'll check out the recipe later. Don't wanna spend too much time doing these.

Has anyone tried seven-layer cookies? Heard of it in a TV show, so when I saw HEB selling them, I had to buy some to try. They were absolutely yummy! Found the recipe but not sure if I'd want to make these to give because it'd be my first time trying it out and I'm not very handy. Anyways, if you haven't tried these, do so!

Got a link to the recipe?

I haven't tried either so I decided to give you both. Let me know which one is better. :D

Not much chance of me making them, I print recipes for my 93 year old aunt.
She doesn't bake a lot anymore but loves to collect recipes.:rolleyes:

Wow, these both take a seriously long time... one chill step is 8 hours, in both recipes.
The second recipe as some good tips at the end for avoiding problems.

Oh yeah, one of the note says you don't really need 8 hours. Rather than measuring 8 hours, just stick it in the fridge overnight.

If all you want are recipes, I have plenty to give you. :D

Since Bruce's suggestion was too complicated and no one else offered any, I am making Duncan Hines cupcakes for the teachers. :D someone did recently tell me I make excellent cupcakes...lol. :D

Sorry darling, with my appetite down an no staff to cook for, I've been a bit lazy about keeping up with your culinary advdentures.

PM me next time to tell me to get my lazy arse into your thread :)

ETA - those fish & chip cupcakes are stunning.
But I'd rather have the real thing
Nice find though, Bruce. too ;)

Oh, it's okay, Sundae. I wasn't really whining (I hope). I've been feeling lazy lately. This year has not started good and things aren't looking up yet. Anyways, I'd rather have the real fish and chips too. :lol:

I made brownie with white cake cupcakes. Bought the boxes from Michael's. When we (my nephew and I) gave the box to the principal, she asked if I run a bakery. Hehe....I hope that implies that all the past baked goods I gave her were yummy. :D Well, she could just asked because the box was nice. :P

Yummy! They look super cute, Lola!

Maybe you should run a bakery, Lola! Those look professional! :yum:

Thanks, Chocolat and Ortho. :) These were super easy to make too. I used cake mix and brownie mix, hehe. My mom thought they were delish. :D
