Stencils to put cocoa powder or powdered sugar in a decorative pattern on a cookie or muffin. They look like the ones at the link but they have Christmas patterns, not Star Wars. How else do you "play" with these? http://www.geekalerts.com/u/Star-Wars-Cupcake-Stencil-Set.jpg
My GUESS is to use a flour sifter (filled with pwd sgr, of course) that has the squeeze type sifter, not the hand crank type, while holding the stencil with the other hand.
You could press biscuit dough into them, take it out and then bake them. You'd get an embossed Chrissy picture that way on them.
Carolyn, IKR! I may not even be coordinated enough for this basic function. My son said he wants to help though. (Which I hope isn't more trouble than trying myself, we'll both need a shower after I bet.) Eileen, that's a good one, thanks!
Purple, Don't hold it above the cookie, set it on top of the cookie and just steady it. Otherwise I think the definition of the stencil will be compromised. Practice....or google youtube to see if anybody has put up a how to video.
Good idea. I always forget there's more on YouT than young guys crashing on skateboards. I'm sure I'll have to do some on my own if I want great-looking cookies but giggled out loud when I got to the word "compromised," thinking just adding my 7-yr old to the mix will compromise everything already! Ha! I'm sure it will fill up some of the out-of-school time though, and he will be so proud of his first year helping with the cookies. When I was buying peanut butter this morning, I had a thought of using these for peanut butter cookies, instead of the fork marks.
If your son wants to help, maybe use them as templates for sugar cookies then decorate and hang on Christmas tree, or box them up as gifts. For tree decorations roll dough flat and trace the inside line. Poke hole for ribbon to tie it on while cookie is still warm. Any little boy should love Star Wars cookies. And you can`t buy them in a store. To decorate just give him a small brush, bit of white corn syrup for glue and use food color to tint some sugar. Sprinkle the sugar on his syrup glue lines.
