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.

My 2 cents:
This book is wonderful. The step by step directions and pictures are priceless. No baker should be with out this book. The recipes are as added bonus. The author does a great job in making the directions sound so easy even a beginner taking their time could make molded cookies with ease. White Chocolate Lime Cookies right now are my families favorite. This is a must have.
