I lost a recipe I had for chocolate cookies made with buttermilk
in which chocolate caramel candy pieces are placed in the middle
of the cookie. When baked the cookie is drizzled with white
chocolate. Hope you can help. Thanks
Lena,
I found two recipes for cookies that have rollo chocolate caramels in the center,
but neither calls for buttermilk.
See below.

Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar. Add eggs one at a time,
beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Now add flour,
cocoa and baking powder. When combined stir in 1/2 cup pecans.
Shape cookies around a piece of caramel candy and dip each of the
cookie balls in the remainder of the chopped pecans mixed with 1
tablespoon of sugar. place the cookies nut side up on a greased
cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 7 - 10 minutes or until the tops are
slightly cracked. Cool for 3 minutes before removing to wire racks.
When cookies are completely cooled, drizzle with melted white chocolate.

Thank you for answering so quickly. I still need to know what
temepature due I set the oven at. My mini donut pan is non stick
and goes in the oven to be cooked.
Thank you.

Hello Cheryl,
That's why you should look at the baked donut recipes on my site. Those
would tell you the temperature and time. There wouldn't be any specific
instructions for your donut pan on the Internet.(I know, because I looked...)
Just browsing donut pan recipes, it looks as though you should cook them in
a preheated 325° oven. For a mini donut pan, start with 8 minutes. If they aren't
done at 8 minutes, try 10 minutes, then 12 minutes. You'll have to find out the
cooking time by trial and error if 8 minutes doesn't work. The reason I say 8
minutes is because I found one mini-donut pan donut recipe that said 8 minutes at 325°.
Below is a baked donut recipe that uses a donut pan, but it's not a mini donut pan.
It says 325° for 15 minutes. That stands to reason because the bigger donuts would
take longer to get done in the middle.

Baked Donuts
2 cup flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon shortening, melted
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, slightly beaten
For best results, lightly spray pan with vegetable shortening or
non-stick spray. Mix all of the above ingredients together until
well combined. Pour mixture into pan so that sections are about
3/4 filled. Place into a preheated oven for 15 minutes at 325
degrees; donuts are ready when toothpick pressed into mixture comes
out clean. As oven temperatures vary, experiment with your oven for
best results. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Donuts can then be
dipped into a mixture of equal parts cinnamon and nutmeg and a generous
portion of powdered sugar. For glazed donuts, melt 1cup of powdered
sugar in 2 cups of hot water; spinkles, nuts, coconut and shaved
chocolate can be dropped onto glaze.

Subject: hi....
I have an electric stove. My aunt finally gave me here recipe
for her pound cake with Swan Down Cake flour. It took her the
longest time to part with it. Anyway. I was so excited to try
this recipe! It was raining out yesterday (Sunday), so I thought
:this was a good day to bake that cake!" I did , and thought, if
she didn't give me all the ingredients to this cake and something
happen, I will drive to Hampton, V a. from where I live (Windsor
Mill, Maryland) and lay her out with the messed up cake. Well, the
cake smelled and baked in the pan like hers except...... it fell!
I called her so upset. I had got so excited that everything was
going so good at first. Then when I turned the cake out of the pan,
I knew the look of a fallen cake. I called her the next day and she
said I did everything right but maybe the ovens are different. We
both have electric stoves. Maybe the altitudes are different? She
sets her oven at 300. I set mine the same. Maybe I need to set it
different? Please help solve this problem or what I did wrong.
Help!!!!!
Gail
Hi Gail,
I doubt that there's enough altitude difference between Virginia and
Maryland to cause the problem. I think a more likely culprit is that one
or both of the ovens are out of calibration. When both ovens are set on 300°,
one of them may really be only 275° or something like that. The thermostats
on electric ovens are notorious for giving incorrect readings. An appliance
repairman can check it for you with a special thermometer or with heat tape.
It may be your aunt's stove that is out of calibration. She may be so used
to it that she adjusts for it without thinking about it.
