How To MOLD COOKIES

Lightly oil your cookie mold using a pastry brush and vegetable oil. Wipe with a paper towel to remove as much oil as possible.
Dust with flour, then tap edge to remove excess.
Firmly press a piece of chilled dough into the prepared mold.
Using a sawing motion with a sharp knife, level the cookie dough so it is flush with the back of the mold.
Give your cookie an even edge by using your thumb to pull the dough slightly away from the edge of the mold.
Hold the mold perpendicular to a cutting board and strike the edge sharply 3 or 4 times. Rotate and repeat.
Drop the cookie out of the mold onto a baking sheet.
Re-flour your mold, and repeat. Do not re-oil it.

Do not bake in the mold!

HELPFUL HINTS

Don't be timid about striking the mold on a cutting board; it will not break if you hold it upright while striking it on its edge.
If the cookie does not release, you have used too much oil. Clean the mold with a stiff dry brush, re-flour, but don't re-oil, and try again.
If your cookies are puffing up and losing detail, use a smaller egg. If they are spreading out and losing detail, use less sugar.
Don't substitute ingredients. Master these recipes before you try others.
