Okay, on the show (Everyday Italian… FoodNetwork) Giada made chocolate chip cookies. They turned out big and good looking. When I did it.. they turned out like every other cookie I make: Small and un appetizing… (althought they tast good)… why can’t I have the same flavour and LOOK as the cookies on tv? does it have anything to do with baking soda or powder?
You have to remember it’s tv and tv utilizes food stylists to make the food made look better. They also have a tendency to pick out the best looking items and that’s what they put on display for tv.
For your cookies though, have you tried maybe using an ice cream scoop to scoop out the dough. This will yield you a bigger cookie. Also if your baking powder is old, it may not be as effective and if the cookie mixture is too warm it actually can come out flatter because the butter is too soft.

Much was written about Will Ferrell’s first “dramatic role” as Harold Crick, an IRS auditor who begins hearing a voice narrating his life. But Stranger Than Fiction is hardly a drama.

What is the correct oven temperature and time for baked potatoes? (big Idaho ones)?
I cook them at 400 until I can poke them with a fork & they are soft. Time doesn’t usually matter, it depends on your potatos, but I’d give at least an hour. If they are done before you’re ready to eat, I usually just turn the oven off & leave them in.

Can dark Chocolate candy bars be used as a substitute for baking chocolate?
I found several large bars in my freezer and have some cookie and candy recipes that call for semi sweet baking chocolate and would love to use these up as no one here will eat them as just candy bars. Any thoughts on this would be helpful.
No. The chocolate bars that are meant to be eaten out of hand have stabilizers and emulsifiers in them: they won’t produce what you’re trying to achieve with the “baking chocolate”……
If you read the ingredient list, you’ll see all sorts of things that PREVENT the chocolate bars from melting……..Baking chocolate is specifically formulated for just that: baking………Hope this helps……
Oh, and you know how when you bake chocolate chip cookies? The chocolate chips don’t really melt, but keep their shape? That’s the stabilizers in the chocolate chips, to keep them from melting……..
