I have a 2 shaped cookie cutter that I have never used before... And I want to make some cookies for Sunday... my sons Birthday party
What cookie recipes would you recommend, considering they will be shaped not chunky and round? Should I use a recipe like the one for christmas cookies? Just a basic one?
I was thinking of covering them in sprinkles anyway.....
Any recipe ideas or advice? I've NEVER made biscuits before
:) thanks ladies
i think just some nice plain ones with icing and sprinkles will be nice, not hard and the kids love them
if you google sugar cookie you'll find something. Thats what I use if I'm using cutters and decorating them. Like this V'day cookies
Thanks..... Off to google lol
there's a few different types, but a sugar cookie/dough is what you want if you want it to hold shape.
You can make lemon, choc etc. If you can't find anything let me know and I'll post some of my recipes.
I found some sugar ones, but .... This is going to sound dumb... Is all purpose flour the same as plain flour ?
And what about vanilla essence? Can I use vanilla imitation extract instead?
Yep all purpose is plain and I would use about 1/2 as much vanilla if using imitation.
wow cool, that makes things easier.... Hubby is a chef but if I asked him I'd never hear the end of it ;) lol
Thanks heaps :)
well i have made my cookies and they are FABULOUS !!!!! I'm very happy, if you can't tell :) Shame my cake went the other way lol
I will put up pics later, but they are FANTASTIC !!!! Especially for my first ever cookies, and I made 50 !!!!!! WOOOO HOOOO
Great to hear, I'm sure everyone will love them.
Glad to hear they turned out great!! :)
I am going to make "2" cookies for my DD's party in 3 wks. Happy I found this thread!
Mum2R .....do you mind sharing the recipe you used.?
ooh this sounds like a great idea, my son is turning 3 in march and its his first birthday party, would love to know where u bought ur number cookie cutter from?
A chef concept shop, look up chef shops ... I think you can get them off eBay too....
If you don't have one near you, I can go see if they have them still, ( which they prob will) and I'll post you one before the party :)
Robins kitchen i got mine from :)
Im going to look on ebay and ill check out robins kitchen, i dont think we have a chef concept store near us, may i ask what price range they are in?
Mine was only like $1!
Mine was $2 , goodluck
oh wow then ebay is ripping me off then, they wanted $5.50 for the number 3 and $4.80 postage, i might check out robbins kitchen and see how i go there, thanks ladies :)
