Beautiful to look at but hard to use. That's
the reputation of cookie molds. But should it be?
In
this groundbreaking book, Anne L. Watson restores cookie
molds to an honored place in the baker's kitchen by
revealing long-lost secrets of their use. With Anne's
techniques and recipes, tasty cookies with lovely,
detailed designs will literally fall from the mold into
your hand.
Learn how to make traditional molded
cookies like speculaas, springerle, and shortbread, as
well as modern ones like White Chocolate Lime Cookies
and Orange Blossom Wedding Cookies. Learn the tricks of
sandwich cookies, layer cookies, chocolate backing, and
exhibition cookies. And learn about the molds themselves
-- the many kinds, their history, the best places to
find them, how to treat them, what makes a good one, and
which to avoid entirely.
With nearly two dozen
recipes and almost a hundred photos, "Baking with Cookie
Molds" will quickly have you making cookies that both
amaze and delight.

molds are lovely to admire but often end up as part of
your kitchen decor rather than as a baking tool. "Baking
with Cookie Molds" will inspire you to use those molds
as they were intended -- to create strikingly beautiful

as well! Detailed instructions and photographs make it
feel like the author is right there in your kitchen,
baking alongside you and guiding you through each step."
