I wouldn't have even guessed you could write enough to fill one. No, I just wanted to make cookies. I had a beautiful wood mold with an image of Saint Nicholas. I had recipes and directions. I was ready to bake! Well . . . . The directions I'd been given told me to oil and flour the mold. I did that. But it wasn't nearly as simple as oiling and flouring a cake pan. I found that out on my first try. I used too much flour and didn't spread it evenly, so my saints were spotted with white. Then I tried preparing the mold with just oil, and I got blurry, nearly faceless saints. So, I decided I'd used too much oil, and I tried a little less. Those saints stuck in the mold, and many lost their arms or head. I tweaked amounts of oil and flour, tried different techniques and different tools. I tried pan spray, vegetable shortening, and several different oils. I substituted cornstarch or confectioners' sugar for some of the flour. None of these experiments worked. Further batches produced a motley crowd of Nicholases. Some were hunched or stretched. A few of them flattened into unrecognizable blobs in the oven. The cookies tasted good but looked terrible. Since my reason for buying the mold in the first place was the making of beautiful Saint Nicholas cookies, I was very disappointed. For all I knew, so was Saint Nicholas. But I was determined to master the art, and before long I was doing much better. By then, I was thoroughly intrigued. There was much more to making molded cookies than I'd thought. I experimented with different pieces of equipment and even worked out some new and helpful techniques of my own. Finally, I discovered a long-forgotten fact about the earliest traditional recipes that made the whole process about fifty times easier. But the idea of writing a book didn't come until I started sharing my cookies with other people. Then their stories tumbled out. "My grandmother made these. I just loved them. I still have her molds, but I don't know how to use them." "I bought a mold like that when I was in Europe. I never could make it work. I think I still have it somewhere." "For years, I've asked all the bakers I come across if they know how to make windmill cookies. But none of them do." Baking with cookie molds, I came to realize, had become a lost art, and it shouldn't have. It really isn't difficult. Like so many things, it's just a matter of knowing how. Most instructions you'll see, though, give you methods requiring much skill and practice while also leaving out a lot. That's why so many people who try cookie molds give up in frustration. You don't have to be one of them. There are easier and better methods than the ones in common use today. That's what this book shares with you -- what I've learned from my mistakes and successes. Things that will work. Techniques and pointers. Equipment you need and equipment you don't. Plus loads of tasty, doable recipes. In other words, everything you need for molded cookies to be fun and rewarding.
From the Inside Flap GOT A QUESTION? JUST ASK ME! -- A NOTE FROM ANNE Let's face it. No author can think of every single question you might have while reading the book. No matter how clear and complete it is, there's always a chance you'll find something you don't quite get or that doesn't quite fit your situation. So, what do you do? If the book is one of mine, you can go to my Web site and ask me direct. I'll be glad to help! (But you might want to look through the rest of the book first, since the answer might come up later -- maybe in the FAQ at the end.) I also use my Web site to describe new things I'm wondering about and trying and exploring. So, please do take a look! ///////////////////////////////////////////////// "Like other well done works of art, a good molded cookie starts with a flawless canvas (the dough), a first-rate design (the mold), and a teacher who is a master of the craft (Anne L. Watson). Watson as a teacher is phenomenal, and her groundbreaking book is the reason why. [Her] recipes for springerle, speculaas, lebkuchen, shortbread, and more are tasty, detailed, and meticulous." -- Sue Ade, Bluffton Today, Oct. 5, 2011 "Revolutionizes the springerle world. . . . There's no muss and fuss. Combine ingredients, chill, knead, roll, press, cut, bake. One hour." -- Patrice Romzick, Springerle Joy "Finally, a book has been written that explains and shows how to use all types of cookie molds, stamps, and springerle rolling pins and molds correctly, along with recipes that actually taste good . . . Watson's book takes the guessing out of making beautiful cookies with molds and gives excellent step-by-step instructions that actually work . . . Every recipe I've personally tried has worked out perfectly, and it has been difficult to actually break down and let friends and family devour them because they are so pretty." -- Karen Hancock, Bella Online ///////////////////////////////////////////////// FULL REVIEW FROM KIRKUS REVIEWS, JUNE 16, 2015: A tasty treat of practical cookie making, historical cookie-mold information, and a wide range of recipes, all served with appetizing sides of baking history and great photographs. Watson (Island Women Trilogy, 2015, etc.) adds to her collection of how-to books on soap and lotion making with a colorful collection of recipes, decorative cookie lore, and clear, practical advice for bakers of all levels. Starting with honest descriptions of her own failures -- some cookies were "flattened into unrecognizable blobs" -- she provides historical context for molded cookies of all types, along with her secret ingredient to ease the unmolding process and produce exquisite treats. Few cooks will be able to resist her enthusiastic and encouraging call to kitchen action: "You'll have to experiment a bit, but don't let that daunt you. Remember, when you experiment, you may not get cookies you like -- but the one thing you're sure to get is information, and that's always helpful!" But Watson's book has appeal outside the kitchen; she weaves in a Saint Nicholas story and a detailed cookie-making lesson with style. Also helpfully included is a FAQ section and extensive resources for purchasing molds or learning more. A "historic preservation architecture consultant" by trade, Watson is organized, thorough, and undeniably readable. Her guide is also surprisingly entertaining. While relating her first attempt at molding, she says, "Since my reason for buying the mold in the first place was the making of beautiful Saint Nicholas cookies, I was very disappointed. For all I knew, so was Saint Nicholas." Shepard, her husband, provides dozens of clearly labeled photos for mouthwatering visual inspiration. Engaging, precise baking guide that will have readers heading for the kitchen with enthusiasm and confidence.

A spare-no-detail primer ideal for cookie bakers of all skill and experience levels By Midwest Book Review Baking with Cookie Molds is a guide to using cookie molds to create aesthetic and delicious cookies. Cookie molds are notoriously difficult to use properly, but Baking with Cookie Molds walks the reader through the process step by step, from making the dough, to preparing the mold, to molding the dough, unmolding the dough, and baking the cookies. Nearly two dozen recipes and a hundred black-and-white photographs fill this excellent, spare-no-detail primer ideal for cookie bakers of all skill and experience levels.
24 of 26 people found the following review helpful. Great "how to" sprinkled with the history of cookie molds! By busymomof4 This book is probably the only one you'll find on the topic written in English. The photographs will be especially helpful for novice cookie mold bakers. I wish this book was available last year when I was trying to teach myself how to make springerle. The history of the cookie mold adds a nice sprinkle of information in between recipes and "how to" information.
16 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Great photos and molding tips made my expensive molds EASY to use By Ruth I bought this book purely on impulse when I bought my springerle molds. Finally got a chance to use them after a few months, and the first time I tried to use them, my prints came out horribly. I got adequate results after an hour of rolling dough and pounding on the back of the mold with a rubber mallet! I've only made springerle once before, so as a beginner having spent a lot of money on molds, I was pretty frustrated and discouraged.Then I pulled Baking With Cookie Molds off the shelf. Anne's photos of her molding technique were KEY, and after five minutes' paging through the book I was making vastly better prints showing every detail of my molds. This book saved my motivation to continue making springerle. It demystified the molding process, and there was no rubber mallet needed. (My husband and downstairs neighbors are very relieved.) I also increased my output from 11 mediocre prints an hour to three pans of great prints an hour! It's all about the technique of getting the dough into and out of the mold, and this book provided exactly what I needed exactly when I needed it.
