Lately I’ve been on an embossed cookie kick! Did you notice?! I’ve been using these lovely textured cookies left and right on so many of my cookie projects that I thought it was high time to REALLY explain how I make them.

 

In this video, I cover everything from types of molds for embossing, to tinting the dough, to best methods for shaping/baking to ensure super sharp impressions.

 

Heads up: I go into great depth here, but I’ve broken the video into a few key parts to allow you to skip to exactly where you’d like to go - if you’d like to skip around, that is! Each part is set off by a bright red/pink transition slide, at roughly these time stamps in the video:

  • 02:09 Types of Molds for Embossing
  • 03:54 Types of Dough for Embossing
  • 05:58 Adding Color (Pre-Baking)
  • 09:46 Methods of Molding/Baking (Part 1: Out-of-Mold Baking)
  • 14:54 Methods of Molding/Baking (Part 2: In-Mold Baking)
  • 18:04 Adding Color (Post-Baking)

Thx! Various places - most of these were from First Impressions Molds. My links to sources are always placed in the video description under the video on YouTube. I've got this link to First Impressions, for instance, and others there.

You're welcome.  It's really so easy, though each mold and dough presents its own nuances, which is what I was trying to convey in the video.
