rimless cookiesheet pan vs rimmed baking sheet: Which one to use?
So, I was making some cookies the other day and I used both a flat cookie sheet and a rimmed baking sheet, and I gotta say, I noticed a difference in how they turned out. The cookies on the flat sheet cooked up faster and puffed up more during baking than the ones on the rimmed sheet. Do any of... Read more

Need a gluten-free recipe!
Hey, so I'm trying to make a blueberry cream pie for a friend who's got celiac disease and needs a gluten-free recipe. I've never done this before, so I'm not sure which flour to use.

Why are my cookies suddenly so thin and flat?
I've been making the same recipe for years now and suddenly they are flattening out! I'm so embarrassed to even give them to the intended people. I've recently replaced my baking soda and powder.

Can I use chocolate sprinkles for funfetti type cupcakes, or would using chocolate chips be better?
Pretty much what it says in the title. I'm making half traditional funfetti and half chocolate. And by chocolate I do mean vanilla cake with chocolate replacing the colorful sprinkles. I was hoping someone would know if chocolate sprinkles would hold up or if I should just use mini chocolate chips instead. Thanks!... Read more
