This is my first cookie bouquet for my girlfriend's birthday....i'm pretty happy with the way it turned out....but i really need some help...
could someone share with me the best width of stick to use and how far to it should be in the cookie. I basically need cookie bouquet 101. I had about 5 cookies fall off the stick....
As soon as the cookie comes out of the oven, I put "glue" (a little of powdered sugar and water to the consistency of royal icing ) on the tip of the stick before I slide it in the cookie. This tip has worked excellent for me.
wow...that's an excellent tip! thanks so much!!!!!
oh, the cookie "present" says hapy birthday...it's hard to see the writing with the lighting i had...
Great job on your first bouquet. I like the cookie with the face. To cute. I use bamboo skewers I found at the dollar store. You might have the occassional cookie fall off the stick still. I stick mine in a little over half way. I am still learning the how to's also. The trouble I have is coming up with a design for the cookie. I am not very creative in that department. :D
Super cute, and way to go on your first bouquet! I love the flowers. I normally stick mine in about half way or more. For bigger cookies, I try to get them as far in as I can. I just put some together last night and one of mine fell off, the stick wasn't centered in the dough, another tip. Good luck on your next one!
you did a great job. the cookies are very cute. do you put the stick in before or after you bake them? i think i'll try to make some soon.
well, i put the stick in before i baked them...i treated the sticks like skewers before i grill...I soaked them...sounds like a lot of people put the stick in after they come out...one gal even suggested putting a little frosting glue on it before it went in the cookie (which i thought was very clever)...so i'm not completely convinced of the best way to do it...these things i learned 1/4 - 1/2 inch dowels if you use the wood, be sure they are half way up. A lot of people use regular sucker sticks...
