Baking Love ~ Minions ~ Cookies & Shortbread & Biscuits ~

Another Baking post! You never get tired of them!!

Wanted to share my ebay find with you! So here's a link to my ebay minions cookie cutter. Buying on ebay you can grab some great bargains (€1.58/ £1.23/ $1.76)  once you don't mind the wait for delivery! I forgot about these and was pleasantly surprized when the postman came!

These are great as they are plungers so easily cut your dough and press your little minions faces into it!

Here's their image:

Here's the odlums shortbread recipe, however any cookie recipe could be used with these cutters!

 

Shortbread Ingredients:

125g/4oz Odlums Cream Plain Flour

50g/2oz Cornflour

125g/4oz Butter (softened)

50g/2oz Caster Sugar

Mix all together, roll out, cut and bake for approx. 12 mins at 160C


And my process, (oops burnt a few!)

 

All lined up on the cookie sheet before baking!

 

 

Then I had an idea to ice them but didn't have any fondant icing! Fondant icing is great for these plungers, I would recommend this not my runny icing sugar water combo!!!

 

 

Painted them with a tiny paint brush and food colouring!!! Think I'll post this as a Pinterest fail!!!!

At first it seemed great but the icing kinda melted and ran in my warm kitchen!!! Maybe if I left the icing set overnight, who knows? But I was able to use the plunger on the icing after a few hours with no problem, should have taken a photo of that!!!!

 

 

 

 

Have you any baking fails? Or successes?

 

Any baking products you think I should check out?
