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.
Learn more cookies secrets by reading Cutting Into Bars, Shaping Batter Cookies, or Scooping Cookie Dough.
This article is part of the Tips That Help in the Kitchen Series, Tip Friday.

May 19, 2016 at 3:34 PMThis 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!

May 19, 2016 at 3:40 PMWe used to call that tic-tac-toe on the cookies! I m glad to bring that memory back to you!

May 17, 2016 at 3:43 PMI 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!

May 17, 2016 at 10:15 PMThe lazier I get the more I discover Nikki! Never thought of custard cups!

May 11, 2016 at 9:12 PMWe 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!!)

May 9, 2016 at 9:43 AMWow, 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!

May 9, 2016 at 5:03 PMI learned that making cookie cups using a whoopie pan instead of a muffin tin! Great minds learn alike! Have a great day.
