I *LOVE* this idea and am SO doing it for my Christmas table! Anyone have a good Gingerbread >>

Cookie recipe (not too many) that would work well for these?http://namiotle.widmo.biz/1602

Love these!! I would recommend Michael's gingerbread cookies >>>

I used his recipe for my gingerbread men and it was very tasty, sturdy and held it's shape well.

Thanks. Do you think these will make a "clean cut" edge? I probably will need to bake them firm>>

I'm trying to get Earl to walk with me down to the local, very fabulous Pacific Hardware store to buy two sizes of star cutters. 4.5 miles round trip and it's a tad windy here and 64 degrees outside. (I know we're both wimps!)

Michael - are you out there??! I made these 2 years ago, but I remember them not spreading a lot.

Like I said, I made gingerbread boys and girls. I don't know how you'd get that perfectly clean edge in the picture of those snowflakes. I'm using Michael's recipe to make snowflakes for a Christmas tea.

I got the snowflake cookie cutter like in the picture link >>

Those look wonderful! I checked the site and the only 6 pointed star (of David) are discontinued!

I may have to get my husband to make some as the hardware store didn't have any of these although they had LOTS of other choices.

My sister sent us a small box containing hanuka cutouts - star, top(dreidle), etc. Maybe you can

find those - I am thinking of the dreidel to use
as they did the stars in the picture. Thanks for the idea - it will be useful for all kinds of celebrations.

They don't spread alot. Just a little. Should work fine. Post pictures, ok?

 

[luisa_calif]

thanks, I'm still searching for the cutters though my husband offered to make them

 

[luisa_calif]

Yes, I thought those were pretty cool looking. I think the cutters in those combo>>>

kits would be too small. Besides I need Two sizes. I saw on Amazon for very cheap around $2.05 but the shipping was $12 !

 

[cheezz]

Luisa, in that link I posted at Wilton's site, you can order them from there or get them at Michaels

 

[luisa_calif]

Thanks for the Michael's tip. I'll have to check them out, maybe tomorrow.

 

[michael-in-phoenix]

When are you two coming over? I'll put some coffee on and we'll share a coffee cake...

 

[cindy]

Luisa, if you can't find the Star of David cookie cutters, I'll be happy to send you a couple

 

[cheezz]

Me? Well, gosh... what a nice invite! I've never been to Phoenix.... someday!!

 

[luisa_calif]

Thanks very sweet of you. I may take you up on it if I can't find them here.

 

[michael-in-phoenix]

Well, cheezz said you could order them from Wilton's or get them at Michael's...

 

[luisa_calif]

Well I looked several palces and the only Star of David I found was too small.>>>

I need TWO. One that is about 4 inches across and the other that is about 4.75 or 5 inches across. Do you have Two that big? I would be very happy just to borrow them and pay for the postage. You can PM me if you want.
