For best results, mix your dough by hand. Lightly oil mold and blot with paper towel. Lightly flour mold and re-flour the mold before each cookie but DO NOT re-oil. Press a piece of dough firmly and evenly into the mold. Trim the back of the cookie so it's flush with the mold. Tap the dough from mold and place on a baking sheet in the top third of your oven until nicely browned - about 10 minutes.

Categories     Egg

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon milk, or cream
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Thoroughly cream the butter by hand. Add sugar and mix til fluffy. Beat in the egg and then the milk or cream.
  • In a separate bowl mix together all the dry ingredients. Stir them into the butter. Knead the dough for just a minute. Chill the dough until firm.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • Form the cookies as directed above. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until the edges brown.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cookie dough. A stiff dough will hold its shape better in the mold, while a softer dough will spread out more. For best results, use a dough that is chilled before baking.
  • Use a well-greased mold. This will help the cookies release easily from the mold. You can grease the mold with butter, cooking spray, or shortening.
  • Don't overfill the mold. The cookies should fill the mold about halfway. If you overfill the mold, the cookies will spread out too much and lose their shape.
  • Bake the cookies according to the recipe instructions. The baking time will vary depending on the type of cookie dough and the mold you are using.
  • Let the cookies cool in the mold for a few minutes before removing them. This will help them keep their shape.
  • Decorate the cookies as desired. You can use frosting, sprinkles, or other decorations to make your cookies festive.

Conclusion:

Ceramic molds are a great way to make unique and festive cookies. With a little practice, you can create beautiful cookies that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet, give ceramic mold cookies a try.
