I've struggled with making cut out cookies. I haven't seemed to find a recipe I like and then comes the whole bother of rolling on a floured surface and then the cursing that comes about 1 hour into the process.
Yup, makes for some great Christmas memories.
I finally rented the book Cookie Craft.
I was skeptical. But Bakerella said it worked...and well, you listen to anything she says.
So, I tried it.
And it worked.
It totally freakin' worked!
I won't be posting the recipe here since it's copywrited (and you really need to read the whole book anyways, because it's amazing). But I have never made such wonderful sugar cookies that looked great, tasted great, and didn't leave me in tears!
I am loving the Mickey Mouse cookie cutter I recently ordered off Ebay. I made up some plain to decorate later, but I also decorated some with sprinkles before baking and they turned out great too.
Now off to find some more fun cookie cutters since cut out cookies don't scare me anymore!
Hi. Saw your blog through a link to the paper heart wall art. Cute!
ReplyDeleteI love interesting cookie cutters. In fact, at my house, we have a cookie cutter drawer. This is a great site for finding all sorts of cool ones at a low price: http://cookiecutter.com/.
Have fun!
