Re: [CnD] Keurig
I prefer to stay with the Keurig 1x series as I don't have to worry about the touch screen. My unit has 2 buttons on the top of the unit going toward the back which are the power button and the on off button for the auto shutoff after 2 hours. Then towards the front are 3 buttons which are 5, 7 and 9 oz cup size selections. Very easy to operate.

Re: [CnD] Irish butter
You can use it any way you would use regular storebought butter! It is butter after all. It's just that it's grass-fed instead of coming from factory farmed cows! It is more expensive than regular butter that comes in a 4-cube 1 pound box, but in my opinion, the incredible taste and healthfulness are most definitely worth it!

Re: [CnD] Irish butter
Hi Sugar, Does this recipe really use salted butter? Its always been my understanding that in baking one should use unsalted butter. Even though its not specified I thought it was always understood that you should just used unsalted butter. Just want to make sure in case your cookie recipe does intend to use the salted variety.
