When ponies taste like cookies
I posted a thread, added some pictures. It loaded for 95 minutes, but never completed. I'm trying again, I'll add one picture, and more in follow up, if I can figure it out. Houzz. Ugh....
Elery's Granddaughter, Emaline, had a "My Little Pony" party for her 4th birthday. When I asked what I could bring, I was told that everyone was counting on me bringing cookies. Makes sense, since I got this card for Mother's Day. (grin)

RECIPE: Need good tasting wheatless bread & cookie recipes
Comments (5)Here is my favorite recipe for peanut butter cookies..... ~2 cups peanut butter ~2 cups sugar ~2 eggs ~1 teaspoon vanilla ~Preheat oven to 350. Grease cookie sheets. ~Beat peanut butter and sugar in bowl until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla ~Roll dough into 1" balls and place 2" apart on cookie sheet. With tines of fork, press crosshatches to flatten. ~Bake 10-12 minutes. Cool on rack. For this recipe, I've found that natural peanut butters (the kind you have to stir together) do not work well. I also like to vary it by adding different kinds of chips. Chocolate, peanut butter and white chocolate are all good. I also don't usually bother to flatten them with a fork and they still come out fine....See MoreCookies-Cookies-Cookies! How about candy?
Comments (28)PWM, I'm assuming you'd like the amounts converted to something other than metric? There are many conversion tools on line, one gave me these conversions. Islay, please feel free to correct me if I am wrong: 450g (2 cups) dark brown sugar 175g (3/4 cup) ml evaporated milk 30g ( 2 tbls) butter 1 tsp vanilla extract 55g (1/4 cup) chopped walnuts. Butter a 20 or 30 cm (8 or 9 inch square) tin. In a saucepan, stir together the sugar and milk. Boil until temp. reaches 112 to 116°C. (232-240F, soft ball stage) Or, until a small amount dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Remove from the heat, stir in the butter, vanilla and nuts. Continue to beat until the mixture loses its gloss. pour into prepared tin, score with knife and set aside for about 5 minutes. Cut into squares. I hope this helps. Annie...See MoreColorado Cookies that smell like Oreos!
Comments (30)I know people who've tried the edibles and a very little goes a long way. Some hated it, and gave it back, others have 1/6 of a cookie to alleviate pain. Hubby and have taken the oil to help with the stress and help us sleep. Neither of us can sleep thru the night. He doesn't have pain associated with his cancer, but there's huge stress and the unknown. I hadn't taken the oil in a number of weeks.....it tastes like a pine tree and I don't like it, I usually put it in juice or milk. So I put some in my drink, and I was watching tv with hubby and the room started to spin and I felt all weird. I didn't know if I was having a heart attack or what. When I went to bed, I had to hold onto the walls all the way down the hall, and laying in bed my thoughts were racing, and I thought I was going crazy. Then it dawned on my that it was the oil. Boy if this is what people want, when they take marijuana (or any drug), they're nuts. They can have it, it's not for me. As Ann said, we're getting it in Oct. Families are allowed to grow 4 plants on their property. I have no idea how any of this is going to be regulated. Are they going to search inside and outside the houses and count the plants? We're having government stores sell it, like our provincial liquor stores. Currently we can buy marijuana for medical reasons, but it's sold online, and delivered by Canada Post, UPS etc....See MoreA better tasting royal icing for cookies?
Comments (33)Wow, thank you all so much for sharing your suggestions and considerable knowledge, it is so helpful to me! I use meringue powder instead of egg whites because one of my kiddos had a salmonella infection a few years ago and it was quite an awful experience. We never determined exactly where he came in contact with it; it could have been from handling the reptiles/turtles at school, or from a local restaurant where he was the only one to eat spinach with his dinner salad. Regardless, since that experience, I have become extremely cautious - no bagged lettuce/spinach, no reptilian pets, and no eating anything with uncooked/undercooked eggs, including spoonfuls of raw cookie dough (which I had done my entire life without incident!). Poured fondant sounds like an interesting solution! But could that be piped, or would royal icing need to be used for detail work? Not sure I could handle two different icings..my kitchen was a disaster just using one icing, with the piping bags and bowls for coloring, etc. I am not a neat cook. I'll try adding lemon juice and using Ateco meringue powder next time! I also found another recipe online for a crusting buttercream (with meringue powder) so I may try that as well some other time. So many great ideas here....thank you all so much!...See More- 7 years ago

Olychick, the boys in the family would like "My Possessed Little Pony" better than the regular ponies, I think. I'm going to have to work on that. (grin)
Madonna, she'll be 15 in November and is already at least 6 inches taller than me. She's taller than her Mom, taller than Elery and working on being taller than her Dad. (sigh) I don't like it at all...
Plllog, eyelashes. Yes, that's what they needed. Still, they tasted like cookies, so as you said, how could that be bad? And yes, the Princess liked the flowers too, she used up the rest of them for this cookie. Then she promptly ate it!
Impatien, I think the kids are even cuter than the Possessed Ponies! Thanks...
Cathy, all the horns went back into the dough and got cut into the circles. As you can see, blue/purple was the theme, she was working on "galaxy" colors, which is apparently a big current thing. Yes, SOMEONE should write that stuff down, LOL. I never did either, but I guess I should have...
chloebud, she still likes to play in the kitchen with me, I'll hate it when she decides it's no fun anymore. (sigh)
2many, The Princess has a smart mouth. She gets it from me, so the Possessed Pony comment didn't surprise me at all, LOL. Just as Dad used to say to me, now I say to The Princess: "You know why they don't send donkeys to school". The answer, of course, is "Because no one likes a smart a$$". Yeah. She just smirks.
Those cookies were my first attempt at "flooding". It's harder than it looks, obviously, because my manes and tails ran all over the place!
Thanks, Mom!
Ricky, you're just going to have to get past that blue food issue, as I said before, apparently "galaxy" foods are the big current fad. You have to be up-to-date, you know. Like me. (snicker)
Hopefully, my next attempt at "flooding" won't actually result in flooding pony tails and manes all over the counters!

You know, I think I know a lot of people who would benefit from a few classes at Purple College, loosen 'em up a little with all that recess! (grin)
plllog, that spaghetti trick is so gross, it's kind of like that magician that pulls a never ending handkerchief out of his sleeve, but much more disgusting. I always tell her it's disgusting, but I have to turn away to keep from smiling. And then I tell Bud to just never mind, he doesn't need to try it to, because he would, you know it.
2many, the rock painting is a "thing" here. They paint the rocks, clear coat them and then hide them about town and in the parks and playgrounds. Kids find them and then hide them somewhere else for other kids to find. Each rock has #RockinNC on the back (Newaygo County). So, keep painting rocks, the kids think it's so much fun!
Cathy, Bud stuck paper up his nose, and chicken nuggets, LOL. What is it with stuff up the nose?
Robin, you are really asking for it. She's so full of it and can run circles around even Bud. And she looks so sweet. She's the blonde one, with Elery and her sister Madi.
I'll tape her up and send her right down. (grin)

You're killing me, Annie! I'd never be able to pull this off -- not kidding! I'd be laughing too hard and who knows where the spaghetti would land. That said, I live among a dedicated, dedicated I tell you, crew of pranksters. I'm going to throw the spaghetti idea out there and will almost be able to see those wheels will turning! And because I believe you have a similar crew, I'll share this with you. DD and SIL celebrated first anniversary this weekend; you know, paper. SIL, who fits right in, texted me this pic with "had to sneakily install in bathroom and then wait for DD to notice when she went in" HA! I love this kid.
