Hi all. I am a newbie and I have a question. My twin's birthday party is next saturday and my daughter does not want a cake...she wants chocolate chip flamingo cookies! I have a flaming cookie cutter, but I need to know if it is possible to make cut out cookies with chocolate chip cookie dough? Also, what is the best frosting to use on a decorated cookie? Royal icing?

Thanks for anyone who can help!

Karen has a great CC rolled cookie recipe on her site plus lots of other information.

http://www.karenscookies.net/shop/recipes/info_11.html

The icing is a matter of preference. I like a glaze. Many folks have great success with the Antonia74 royal icing. Karen has a buttercream recipe that some have used and said nice things about it.

The two most popular cookie icing recipes on Cake Central.

What about shortbread cookies with mini-chocolate chips?

Or convincing her to have chocolate cookies?

Or making sugar cookies and having some sort of chocolate icing? I know, not a traditional flamingo.

I would second Honeydukes suggestion for karenscookies.net recipe. It works great; very little, if any, spreading and a nice taste. thumbs_up.gif

A nice rolled icing to use for these cookies is a chocolate clay (recipe on this site).

Looking forward to seeing your flamingo photos!

I wish I would have known about this cut-out cc recipe a month ago! I had an order for 150 heart-shaped cc cookies for a wedding. I ended up making HUGE cookies and using a heart cookie cutter to cut out the middles. It sounds weird, but they turned out really cute. However, the cut out recipe would have saved me a lot of time and cookie scraps!
Thanks for the info!

Thank you so much for the advice. I am going to try the cc rolled cookie recipe from "Karen." I think it will work great. I am going to decorate them with the Antonia74 royal icing. If they turn out, I will post pictures!
Thanks!

I use karen's chocolate chip cookies. There are not soft like nestle, but they are good. I made mine thick. I roll to about 1/2 thick and then back just lightly brown. I also cover with candy melts on these instead of royal icing. I feel it just give better flavor, but personal preference.

Momma2three, did you notice that Karen has a cut out chocolate cookie recipe? Either way, good luck with the cookies. I think your dauther knows best, because I love to make cakes for my boys, but the little guests, in general, don't eat a lot of cake and some won't even try it, but a cookie! I am sure they will all like that!!

Well, I am actually doing cookies, a cake and cupcakes! Crazy, I know. But, the party is for my boy/girl twins who are now 7. She wants flamingos and he wants baseball, so we are having a flamingos playing baseball party. I am making a cupcake "cake" as a base (they will be frosted in green.) Then, I am making a baseball cake, using the round ball pan, to place on top of the base. There will be a six-inch feathered flamingo standing on top of the baseball and we will ALSO have the flamingo cookies. Good grief!! Any advice on doing all of this would be appreciated!
