So, the other day I decided to make some Halloween cookies. I didn’t really have a clear plan, just a vague idea that I wanted to bake something festive. I remembered I had a box of cookie cutters somewhere, so I started digging through my kitchen drawers.
After a bit of searching, I found them! It was a 7-piece stainless steel set, perfect for Halloween. I pulled out the shapes: a pumpkin, a skull, a coffin, a bat, a cat, a ghost, and a witch hat. They were all different sizes, which I thought was pretty cool. These cutters were not some flimsy plastic things, I could tell they were made to last. They had a nice weight to them, and I knew they’d easily cut through the dough without any issues.
I mixed up a basic sugar cookie dough, nothing fancy. Then, I rolled it out and started cutting out the shapes. The cookie cutters worked like a charm. They sliced right through the dough, and I had a whole bunch of fun Halloween shapes in no time. I did have a slight moment of panic when I thought I’d lost the bat, but it turned out it was just hiding under the skull.
- First, get those cookie cutters out and pick your shapes.
- Second, mix your cookie dough, you know, the usual way.
- Third, roll out the dough and start cutting!
- Fourth, don’t freak out if you misplace a cutter, just keep looking.
- Finally, bake those cookies and enjoy!
I baked the cookies until they were golden brown, and then came the fun part – decorating! I made some simple icing and used food coloring to make it orange, black, and white. I’m not the best at decorating, but I had fun making spooky faces on the skulls and adding details to the pumpkins and witch hats.
In the end, the cookies turned out pretty good! They weren’t perfect, but they were definitely festive. I think next time I’ll try to find some different colors of icing to make them even more interesting. Maybe I’ll even try some different cookie recipes. Overall, it was a fun little baking project, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. Making cookies is super easy, and with these metal cutters, even a beginner like me can make something fun. I even thought about making chocolates with them, but that might be a project for another day.
A Few Tips I Learned
- Make sure you have all your cookie cutters before you start.
- Chill the dough for a bit before rolling it out, it helps keep the shapes.
- Don’t be afraid to get creative with the decorating!
Anyway, that’s my little Halloween cookie adventure. Maybe I’ll try making some Christmas cookies next month!
