It’s Tip Friday on Marilyn’s Treats. And todays tip is Shaping Batter Cookies.
Shaping Batter Cookies
When batter cookies are still warm, they can be shaped into several kinds of shapes, using any number of kitchen items. Tuiles can be draped over the handle of a rolling pin, or over the back of a custard cup to make a small, edible bowl to hold ice cream, pudding, or berries. Krumkake are traditionally rolled around a cannoli form (a hollow tube), and lace cookies wrap nicely around the handle of a wooden spoon.

Clever tip! I clearly knew very little about batter cookies… thanks for sharing your skills at #FridayFrivolity!
My pleasure Sarah. I am glad you found it useful.
This is an excellent tip Marilyn. I remember my son used to make peanut butter cookies and when he removed them from the oven he would press them down with a fork to form a pattern. I will definitely tweet and pin!
We used to call that tic-tac-toe on the cookies! I m glad to bring that memory back to you!
Love this great idea! Thanks for sharing at #HomeMattersParty
You are wekcome Michelle. I am glad you like the tip.
Great idea! I never thought about shaping a cookie prior to that.
Thanks for linking up with Welcome Home Wednesdays!

I have used custard cups or the bottom of a cupcake pan to make the shape of a bowl for parmesan crisps but never thought about doing this for a cookie. There are so many fun things you could use this for, dips, or individual desserts come to mind! How fun!
The lazier I get the more I discover Nikki! Never thought of custard cups!
What great ideas to create unique cookies!
Thank you CJ. I hope you are having a nice evening.
We tried this once with pizzelles but we didn’t have the right shaped bowl—but a wooden spoon handle could be interesting!!! And I totally agree with Gigi– cookies sound so good right now (this is why I don’t read the food blogs—ha ha!!)

You are welcome Jess. Have a great day.
Wow, that’s amazing! So…by batter cookies, you mean sugar cookies, chocolate chip, that kind of thing? I have to try this someday! My tip is one NOT to do- when making a cookie crust for a fruit pizza, do NOT use a rimless pan. The cookie dough will spread out as it bakes, and drip right off the edges onto the heating elements and cause a fire. At least that’s my personal experience. 😉 Thanks for adding this to the Family Joy linky party!
I learned that making cookie cups using a whoopie pan instead of a muffin tin! Great minds learn alike! Have a great day.
