I have several cut out recipes but would like your opinion on what you think works best for your cookie bouquets. Also, what do you recommend for thickness? Thanks for your input, keep up the good work.

If you put them on sticks, the cookies need to be very slightly thicker than the stick, so they hold on.

As for cookies doughs, many people use the NoFail Sugar Cookie (NFSC) recipe in the recipe forum. there is also a detailed tutorial about decorating cookies in the articles section, that uses this recipe.

Martha Stewart also has a roll out sugar cookie that holds it's shape and is very tasty.

It is best to use a cookie that does not expand or puff, so your cookie design stays the same.

I would suggest going with the NFSC, Martha, or Penney McConnell's recipe. They're all good for cut-outs (I personally like Penney's icon_smile.gif ). I usually roll my cookies out to 1/4" thickness and I use skewers to stick in them. thumbs_up.gif
