When I read your post I thought of the black and white cookies, the frosting you described is very much that consistency, IMO. Here is a link to that recipe. You may want to make a few of these too. Yum..

I think I would like your frosting better..
one of my sil's makes this, but she uses an already made chocolate frosting & the frosting is just tooooo sweet for me, maybe this would be better, I have even thought about leaving it off.. lol which kinda defeats the purpose

Is it a white frosting? could this be it?

I don't know if this is crunchy, but it does get sort of a crust on the outside after awhile. If this isn't it, maybe some more info?

FLUFFY BOILED FROSTING

1 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup water
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 egg whites
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

In a heavy saucepan combine sugar, water and cream of tartar. Slowly bring mixture to a boil, stirring sides of the saucepan with a brush dipped in water to remove any sugar crystals. Cover and boil for about 3 minutes or until a candy thermometer registers 245 degrees.

Beat egg whites with pinch of salt until glossy and peaked. Slowly pour in syrup as you continue to beat the whites. Beat until cool and frosting is soft and fluffy. Fold in vanilla

Special recipe for frosting?
I need help with finding a recipe for frosting. Years ago, I ate some wonderful cookies that had a frosting that was hard on the outside but soft on the inside. I tried and tried to get the recipe but to no avail. Can anyone help?

Funny you mention the frosting
make this frosting as directed and be sure to use the corn syrup - it tastes like a melted candy bar. When I serve this people always comment on the frosting.

Frosting fudge from a few days ago is awesome sm

I made 4 different kinds, and they all turned out incredibly good. Here's the combos I used -

Caramel frosting (which I think is something new) + butterscotch chips + half a bag of Heath toffee pieces

Regular chocolate frosting + Hershey's Special Dark chocolate chips + 1 cup chopped walnuts

Milk chocolate frosting + Andes mint chocolate pieces

Coconut pecan frosting + milk chocolate chips

All of them are made the same - microwave the frosting in a bowl for about 90 seconds. It will be bubbly. Stir in chips & nuts/toffee/etc. Pour into lightly greased 8x8 pan. Cool, cut, & eat.

The coconut pecan one tastes like German chocolate candy, and the caramel/butterscotch/toffee one was the biggest hit of the party last night.

Chocolate mousse cake with ganache frosting! nm

when i first read that i thought wow that's eating frosting and chips
but then i thought about the fudge i make - milk, p-nut butter, & marshmallow cream and it's probably just as bad, loaded up with the calories. Once i was going to count up the calories in an 8 x 8 pan but never did. It's at least 2,000, and it really doesn't make a whole lot volume-wise.

She is one smart cookie
You can't fool her! I'm glad she's eating. That is always a good sign. Hope you both have a good day.

What is a Lofthouse cookie?
Pardon my ignorance.

I have no cookie self-control!
I used to bake piles and piles of cookies, gave lots away, too, but far too many went right into ME. One Christmas, I gained 10 pounds before the New Year! TEN POUNDS! Added to the other 50 I had gained over the years, and I was just disgusted. I tried not to eat the things, but I could not stop. So now, for the sake of my health, I don't bake cookies unless I'm headed out that same day to someone's house. I make my DH stand over me as the cookies come out of the oven, pack them up and put them into the car.

It sounds ridiculous, but I really can't stop myself!

Cookie rules
Here, we eat the dough too, and of the ones who make it to the baking stage are carefully inspected when they are removed from the oven because our rule is that we get to eat all the "cripples", you know the ones that are crooked or missing a leg or part of Santa's hat, or the tip of a star. If we don't have enough one of us always gets the spatula and cripples a few more so we can eat! Frosting day is another story altogether. By the time we are finished we usually have just a modest amount of cream cheese cutouts left and the same amount of gingerbread. We all need a diet by that time. Then, there is always "bread baking day" - so many baking days, so little self-control.

So, where's those cookie recipes?
Go ahead flood the board with cookie recipes. I can handle it.. I can bake every one of them, while I am listening to one dictator flip pages, and the other pausing..c'mon give me whatcha got. But seriously, I need some new ideas for the kids because pop n fresh dough holiday cookie cut outs. PS: See, I am finally getting in the holiday spirit.

I vote for Cookie Castle nm

smart cookie on the waiting....and remember some

some states honor common-law marriages - living together as a couple for 7+ years - and there are laws protecting the spousal unit in those cases...don't know what state you are in....but think about that....*S*

When in doubt, do nothing :)

Fortune Cookie Stuffer on Vacation
I've been reading on CNN that in China they have many millions of migrant workers trying to get back home for the Lunar New Year. China has had the worst snow in over 50 years for about a week. They have so many people stranded that they finally came to the conclusion travel would not be advised! They figure this disruption of the country has cost them $7.5 billion! Looks like your fortune cookie stuffer is stranded on vacation now.

My last fortune cookie was written in English...sm
on one side and Spanish on the other!

Cookie Jar Delites gets my vote Good luck! nm

Along the cookie line, have you baked anything new this year? Good enough

Had Chinese takeout - my fortune cookie was empty

And my husband is trying to tell me that means I already have everything.

Hmmm......

I've decided to start a cookie business! Anyone up for helping me out with a name?
I know with the economy and all, it's probably not a good time to open a new business, but I've been thinking about this for years and just want to do it anyway and very happy and excited about it!

So, some words I've been playing around with are yummy, goodies, goodness, sweets, comfort, cookies ... but nothing is really grabbing me. I've even tried to think of ideas without those type of words above, such as "Big D's" or whatever.

If anyone has any good ideas, I'd love to hear them!
