Thanks for the vote of confidence Emilie. However, I am very much left brained, and my fine motor coordination is not great. I do realize I sabotage myself by not practicing. On the other hand, I am fearless when it comes to changing the recipe to avoid the fine work, which might include cutting even squares for brownies. Now I just bake brownies in mini cupcake pans. Cute and perfect. I can manage a cookie press, probably from all the years of practice making (as my ex called them fried wallpaper paste), beautiful concentric churros. I agree about the cold dough. I prefer my cookies flat and chewy, but when making them for company, I always try to have the dough very cold when it hits the preheated oven. FWIW, I've also found a difference when baking cookies on a silicone mat and parchment, just a greased pan. I use parchment 90% of the time (I do reuse it and run the pan through cold water to completely cool before going back in the oven. I solved the pan problem by getting two of the 3/4 sheet pans at WS, that I believe you recommended. I love those. |

Paul, if you want another one to add to the list, I have a Canadian living recipe (that I've never been able to find in google) that was on their cover years ago. It's a shortbread but contains cream cheese. Worked well for me when my boys (now taller than me, sniff) were into cut outs and I like the flavour. Let me know if you want me to type out or scan. |

So, I ended up using James Peterson recipe from "Baking" for his holiday cookies using his recipe for "royal icing". The came out great and my daughter (5) had a blast decorating in the least tasteful way possible, as is right. They are pretty tasty too! |

And lol, as my boys are almost 17 and 18 so `least tasteful` takes on a completely different connotation.... |
