From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

      That is one demented looking squirrel. Welcome as well to the looney-bin. I'd definitely try some braised Targ.

      I would say: rum, bourbon and brandy is delish in the eggnog. :)

      Never had problem with eating raw eggs before,
      and I remember eating them raw (with rice) since I was a kid.

      That eggnog recipe... where you put the rum in... 'none of the above'... yeah, that's a good way to make people sick. If you don't have pasteurized eggnog, you need the alcohol to kill the bacteria in the raw eggs to not make you sick.
      Raw eggs shouldn't have bacteria in them. If they do they're half-spoiled already.

      My MIL had a recipe for cookies that was fruitcake like. I am sure it is easier to put together than a huge fruit cake. Her Candy Cane cookies excelled, too. MIL baked a TON of different cookies at Christmas time.

      I should go see if I can find those recipes.

      The recipes ain't terrible...but they are not that great either. And they are fairly basic ones for each one with no real trek ties.

      Well, to be fair, I don't think a lot of "real trek" recipes would work so well. What with presumably needing either ingredients what don't exist yet, or methods that are impractical...
      Also, basic is good. Means more people can make and enjoy them...without accidentally the kitchen

      Rum and Egg Nog: best to adjust alcohol in Egg Nog to your taste. And really the touch of Brandy (along with the bourbon and rum) makes a big difference. LOL!

      If you guys have recipes to share, I would love to see them. Like, tell me more about this candy cane cookie and can I program our replicator to make them?!
    • legendarylycan#5411 legendarylycan Member Posts: 37,284 Arc User
      i would imagine a candycane cookie is like any other cookie with things (like chocolate chips) in it - crush up a few candy canes, toss the pieces in the dough, mix well and bake​​

      If you guys have recipes to share, I would love to see them. Like, tell me more about this candy cane cookie and can I program our replicator to make them?!

      From what I recall of making them years ago...it was a big p.i.t.a. because one had to work with two colors of dough and such. I am diabetic now...and do not bake cookies any more.

      ++++++++++++++++++

      Original Candy Cane Cookies Recipe....directly off the handwritten recipe card from M.I.L.

      Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

      Mix together:
      1 cup soft shortening (half butter)
      1 cup sifted powdered sugar
      1 egg
      1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
      1 teaspoons vanilla extract

      Sift together and stir in:
      2 1/2 cups sifted flour
      1 teaspoon salt

      Divide dough in half; color half with 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring.
      Chill dough to make it easier to handle. <--extremely important

      Roll one teaspoon of each color into a strip about four inches long. Place strips side by side press lightly together and twist.

      Place on ungreased cookie sheet; curve top to form cane. Bake about 9 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove and sprinkle with a mix of crushed peppermint candy and 1/2 cup sugar.

      Makes approximately four dozen.


      +++++++++++++++++++

      Changes to recipe made by me and extra tips:

      It pays to find Spangler's Peppermint Natural Flavor Candy Canes...skinny candy canes that come in a box of 12 (interestingly, the fat ones don't taste as good)

      I use butter ONLY in this recipe. Organic, unsalted...if you can afford it.

      I pulverize three-four candy canes in my spice grinder and mix it into the dough just before the dough is divided for coloring.

      I add extra red food coloring...when I mix the pulverized candy canes into the dough, the "white" gets a slight cast of pink from the candy. More red food coloring off sets this issue.

      Sprinkling the top with pulverized candy canes gives them a sparkle. I stick the cookie sheet back in the oven for a few seconds so the sugar melts. I did not mix the candy cane with more sugar.

      USE PARCHMENT PAPER to line cookie sheets, will make life easier.

      These cookies taste better after they sit for a day after baked, the peppermint flavor has a chance to set in.

      Make it and bake it the same day, if possible. I think it loses something when the dough is not fresh. DO NOT FREEZE DOUGH to bake on a different day.

      It is a LOT of cookies to deal with in one day....but sooo worth it.

      I could not find my M.I.L.'s Fruitcake Cookie recipe. Sorry. I did not save that particular recipe. I don't even know where to start looking...she collected and tried recipes from newspapers and magazines from the time she got out of the Marines (after WW2) and started raising her family.

      OH...because the Hubby indicates he did not like them (hell no, did not like those). That would explain why I did not save that one. LOL! His favorites were the Candy Cane Cookies...recipe above.

      But I did locate several Fruitcake Cookie recipes on the internet recipe websites. You will have to experiment with those to figure out which one you like the texture and flavor of. (Or just make the Candy Cane Cookies).
