Now days, fresh baked cookies are a once-in-a-blue-moon thing that require special circumstances. Like these cookie cutters that I found on the clearance shelf at a big box store last November.
There was no UPC code, no label, no trace of what it was or might have cost. I was debating how much time I could spend in line at customer service trying to buy them when there was no way to tell what they actually were....the woman at the checkout line scanned one of the boys cookies-in-a-spooky-tin an extra time and said that was good enough.
I need a different sugar cookie recipe next time, one that won't make the faces spread and the eyes and mouths close into winks and smirks. And I need to make a much bigger batch because the boys saw what I was doing and wanted to cut their own faces. (That sounds a bit wrong when I re-read it....they wanted to design their own faces....on the pumpkins. That's better!)
I'm also thinking these would make good quilting templates for something like my Pumpkin Carving quilt. I did some Googling and it looks like these are the Nordic Ware Jack-O-Lantern Cookie Cutter Set.
How cute!
ReplyDeleteI am certainly not an expert but have done a little bit of cookie decorating...along with my quilting and gardening :-) Anyway, I don't put baking powder in my cut out recipe and freeze the cut out cookies for about 5 minutes before I bake them. Maybe this will work for you too. Good Luck and I love that cookie cutter set!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kim. You want a recipe without leavening, or even a shortbread recipe. Hope to see your next attempt!
