oh congratulations! I think the first thing i made was sugar cookies. At the time i was working in a bakery and had no desire to be baking cakes and frosting at home. But oh cookies... you can never go wrong. It was sugar cookies, but since then have found a different recipe i use... so here is the current one i use.

Enjoy your new KA.

Leily


Famous Sugar Cookies

3 C Powdered Sugar
3 C "Real" butter
2 Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp Almond Flavoring
5 C All purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cream of tarter

Mix sugar and butter till creamy. Add egg, vanilla and almond. Mix thoroughly. Stir dry ingredients together and blend

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Divide dough in half and roll 3/16" thick on wax paper. Grease cookie sheet and bake 7 to 8 min.

NOTE: I rarely roll my cookies. I just bake them right after I mix the batter. With a PC medium cookie scoop i get 4 1/2 dozen. (when i do it this way i just use the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar and flatten to about 1/4" thick and bake about 10 mins.

edited for spelling errors, i think i fixed them all now

My first KA recipe was home-made whipped cream, which I lovingly piped onto my ever famous Chocolate Bombe cake.

The cake is nothing very special. Three 8-inch layers of deep moist chocolate fudge cake (2 DH mixes, with 2 teaspoons of instant coffee added to the water before mixing), with 1/4 inch slices of strawberries and strawberry glaze (store bought) between the first 2 layers, then 1/4 inch sliced bananas with clear glaze (store bought) flavored with banana essence between the top two. Just cover the cake with the whipped cream and grab a fork! I made the whipped cream first, so I could put it in the refrigerator until I was ready to serve the cake.

This is a treat that we used to buy at Kissena Bakery in Queens, NY, for many years. When we moved to Pennsylvania, we could only buy it during the winter and transport it in a cooler in the trunk of the car, otherwise, the whipped cream would wilt.

My home-made whipped cream recipe is as follows:

1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Whip cream until almost stiff (do not overbeat, or your whipped cream will turn into whipped butter!!). Add sugar and vanilla; beat until cream holds peaks. Keep refrigerated.

I don't have cream of tarter but when I will get it then I will try to make your cookies because it looks easy and sounds delicious.

Thanks Theresa for sharing your first experience with me.

Congrats on the KA, welcome to the club, there's no turing back now!!!


The first thing, was a quad batch of sweet potato pies about 6 years ago.

Burned the thing up in one shot, had to call KA to send another the next day because I still had tons of baking to do. They were good about it, left it on the deck the very next day.

Told me how to send back the one I had and a shipping label, and sent the delivery people (UPS) back the next day to pick up the one I burned up.

I'm sure they got a good laugh off of me and my panic.

Forgot to mention it was a Pro 6 with a 6 qt bowl, it was some major pie filling. icon_eek.gif

Oh peanut butter cookies, those are my favorite.. very nice choice! My favorite recipe is on the back of the Jif creamy peanut butter. But i add about an additional 1/4 c of peanut butter... oh are they good. If my kitchen was clean atm then i would go make some, but who wants to clean! LOL

I know....I know we always love making new things but not cleaning.
I don't want to clean my kitchen either but I am not able to hire anybody for cleaning, that's the problem. icon_wink.gif
Yes, Leily, this is also a Jif peanut butter cookie and I am glad my first recipe was good. thumbs_up.gif
KA is really good product. I am just in love with this boy.shhh.gif
LaDivacrj, I never made anything with sweet potato.
Can you please share your recipe with me also?

Thanks everybody.
