This is my first attempt to make molded coloured cookies.

(I was so impressed when I saw beautiful coloured springerle on FB, though I don't remember whose they are...)

 

I used a silicone mold and normal butter cookie dough with a bit of colouring. I pressed the dough into the mold, chilled it in the freezer for a while, probably 30 minutes, then it easily came out!

 

 

I love this look too. I've been doing a lot of it over the last several months. Latest Valentine's projects: http://tinyurl.com/o8bhyzn  http://tinyurl.com/llohptt

 

Beats mixing a ton of icing colors too!

Your work is terrific as always! I didn't think they are cookies...

Recently I finally received some cheap silicone molds from a Chinese online shop and the fairy mold is one of them. I also tried a dahlia type mold like the big brown flower on your heart cookie, but it didn't come out right.

I love those fairy molds!! For the really delicate molds, like the dahlia, I bake right in the mold. I find they some out more easily that way - and there is absolutely no spread, of course.

Touché to Julia's comment/s.  Both of you are excellent at what you can do.  Loving mintlemonade's work.  This set is splendid.  At first I thought it was fondant.  I probably should follow through on looking for molds.  I just do not like a lot of icing atop a cookie, or blobs of fondant.  lol    Springerle molds are expensive.  It's not likely that I will invest in a set.  Oh well...  Merry Christmas!!!!!!

So perfect! Love them ❤️Could you write here your cookie recipe please? I bet cookies must be white to reach those colors, I mean: using my usual cookies recipe they turn out dark yellow and 'fat'. Did you add also white color inside? Thank you!

Thank you Julia! Baking in a mold! I didn't thought of the idea. I wonder if my super cheap mold is okay for baking though...

Thank you Evelin! I thought I should use springerle recipe, but I couldn't wait to try the mold and used my left over normal butter cookie dough with just Wilton pink or green.
My butter cookie recipe is simple; 200g butter, 90g sugar, 1 egg, 430g plain flour. Not to brown the cookies, I baked them in lower temperature, for longer time. Anyway I suppose proper springerle recipe is the best to get the right colour.

Mintlemonade your fairy cookies are so beautiful! This may be the link to the springerle you saw on Facebook? https://www.facebook.com/springerlejoy

Thank you for sharing your tips and the cookie recipe that you used to make these lovely cookies!
