I had a lot of fun reading it, and a lot of fun making these cookies. If you want to get bitten by the cookie-mold bug, this is a great resource to start with . . . Anne has done all the work and research for you on how to make no-fail molded cookies . . . This is one of those cookbooks you can actually take to bed for reading." -- A Cookbook Collector (YouTube reviewer) "As delightful as it is informative . . . Anne did her research, and it shows. Adding recipes alongside the showcase of molds takes [this book] to a whole different level." -- Lisa K's Bk Reviews "A great reference . . . Will get you on eBay and Poshmark looking for molds . . . Excellent recipes as well." -- Poppy Marlowe, librarian "Anyone who loves beautiful molded cookies will want to pick up a copy . . . There are recipes that will appeal to every cookie aficianado . . . A fun book to have on your cookbook shelf." -- Bella Online The merchants of Friday Harbor help drive away the dark with a competition to decorate their shop fronts. On December 5, we celebrate St. Nicholas Eve with molded cookies in the shape of the saint with his horse or donkey -- some cookie molds show one, some the other. The story of St. Nicholas is not well-known, but he was a real person who performed great acts of generosity and kindness. It was St. Nicholas cookies that originally sparked my own interest in molded cookies. My husband, Aaron Shepard, is a children's author, and his children's storybook "The Baker's Dozen" is about a baker who learns a lesson of generosity from St. Nicholas himself. Near the end of December is the winter solstice, that turning point that tells us that the sun is coming back, even as we see only cold and darkness. The month ends, of course, with its cornucopia of Christmas cookies! These include almost every secular and religious motif you could think of, from jolly snowmen to medieval manger scenes. Baking cookies for family and friends is a special holiday joy, and in the spirit of St. Nicholas, let's bake some to give away as well. For this month, I feature both traditional and new recipes to bake and share.
