SILHOUETTE COOKIES
This recipe is from the booklet supplied with the Mirro brand Cookie & Pastry Press. This is technically two cookie recipes put together; the recipe for Recipe #417251 and a sugar cookie recipe. The sugar cookie is cut out in rounds and the chocolate cookies are pressed into your chosen shapes with the cookie press. Then the chocolate cookie is positioned on top of the sugar cookie round and they're baked together. These are no more trouble than the two recipes separately, and they make a beautiful presentation. You can make them holiday themed or for any other occasion by simply changing the design plate you use to press the chocolate cookies with. Prep time includes refrigeration and forming cookies. *For tips on obtaining the best results possible with your cookie press, check out my photo demo in the Kitchen Gadgets & Appliances forum. http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=330463
