I seriously doubt you could bake a chocolate chip cookie in the elmo pan. I would suggest that you bake a big, round, "pan" cookie and then take theinsert from the Elmo pan, trace it and cut it with a craft knife or sharp kitchen knife.

I'm thinking that the cookie dough in the pan would never bake alll the way through because of the thickness of the pan. It would be overdone on the edges and practically raw in the middle.

I have a cute Elmo cake in my gallery--I iced him with the hair/grass tip instead of stars for a more realistic effect.

Good luck!

That's what I thought.

I think I will try to shape it co that it bakes into a fat oval,I also had planned on using that same tip.

I am just not sure of the shape I am looking for because my brother is supposed to bring me a small cookie for an exanple.

I really don't see why you coudn't bake it in the Elmo pan. I make giant choolate chip cookies in my regular cake pans all the time.

I've seen giant chocolate chip cookies decorated as Elmo, Cookie Monster and the grouch. They have them at those cookie stands in malls. The cookie is round and baked in a thin crust pizza pan. The Elmo one had red icing and it actually looked very much like Elmo. They took the same style cookie and used blue icing to make Cookie Monster and he looked just like Cookie Monster.

The red was red/red with just a tiny bit of orange and the orange (for the nose) had a tiny bit of red in it.

I made both icings about 3 days in advance and the colors really developed nicely--if I do say so myself! lol!
