Thank you for these tips! I am not an avid baker, so I never know when to throw out the baking powder. I loved the different ways you can use baking powder after it no longer serves you for baking (definitely going to try the scrubbing method!)
These were delicious and baked up perfectly! I did not have brown sugar, so I substituted white sugar and molasses. I live in Jefferson at almost 10,000 feet and made not adjustments. Yummy!
I smoke corned beef basiclly the same way by smoking it for 2 hrs @ 275 degrees directely on the grate of my smoker. while waiting I make a glaze of 3/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 Tbsp yellow mustard, 1 tsp white vinegar and 1/2 tsp of ground cloves. After the 2 hrs have pasted I take some of the glaze and spread it on the bottom of a foil pan. Then place the corned beef in the foil pan and brush the rest of the glaze all over the corned beef. Cover the pan tightly with foil and put back on the smoker for about 3 hrs or 203 degrees. You could even put this glaze on your corned beef & cabbage to kick it up a bit!
This recipe is a keeper!! The amount of molasses and spices gave a great gingerbread flavor. I rolled the dough out a bit thinner (~3/16″) and reduced the bake time to 6 minutes. Once cooled, I glazed the cookies and let them dry overnight. They were still soft and delicious in the morning.
I live at 7,000 feet and have just recently realized that I needed to make adjustments to bake successfully. This is the most informative, easily understood and helpful blog I could hope to find!
Thank you, thank you!
Hi, you can use the High-Altitude Recipe for Denver without any adjustments. If it looks like it needs it, you could try adding 1/4 tsp baking soda, but that is the only adjustment I would potentially make.
OMG! I have been struggling living at 6300ft and all my cakes sinking or being undercooked. I just made your recipe and they look and smell perfect!!! I will be saving this recipe for sure!!
I am at 10,000 feet and so excited to try this recipe. Do you have any adjustment suggestion for the altitude difference?
Thank you for posting this recipe.
I baked this in Park City and it was delicious but SUPER DENSE. I don’t have a standing mixer and I just couldn’t mix the butter and sugar as well as suggested, I think. I used cold butter… maybe that was another issue?
Hi, using cold butter is going to make it difficult to make this recipe. You should be using soft butter, if you forget to take it out to get to room temp then just put it in the microwave for a few seconds until it is soft but not melted. And you should be able to make it with a hand mixer, but you will have to mix it for about 5 minutes in order to get it to the right consistency. If you do not do that step correctly then it will be very dense.
I have to try these!

Hi! Does egg replacer work in this recipe?
Hi! I haven’t personally tried it, but I think it would work just fine for a waffle recipe!

This is the best corned beef and cabbage recipe! Comes out amazing every time.

I don’t see how much quinoa to add to this recipe?
Hi, you are right! It is 3/4 cup of quinoa, I just updated the recipe
Is the ‘flour’ in the recipe all purpose flour or cake flour?
Hi! I used all-purpose flour for this recipe.
These came out perfectly! Thank you so much. I’d like to try replacing the almond extract with lemon abstract for lemon poppyseed muffins next time! 😁
I am so glad the recipe worked out for you!! Lemon extract can be pretty powerful so you might want to start with 1 1/2 tsp if you try that next time!
Thanks you!! These turned out so well in Estes Park, CO. Had a cookie decorating party and received many compliments.
Awesome! I am so glad it worked out for you!

Appreciate the recipe! Do I need to make adjustments for Denver which is only 5280 feet in elevation?

Hi,
Thanks for asking! I would suggest using 1 1/3 cup buttermilk and reducing the baking powder to 1 tsp. I hope that helps!
