Embossed Rolling Pin for Halloween - Super Cool Way to Make Patterns on Cookies

If you love Halloween and all the events associated with this season, then check out the latest in embossed rolling pins!  It says for Kids but they are for any age!

These are a super awesome way to create patterned cookies in this theme.   To use these rollers you need a cookie recipe that is stiffer and requires you to roll it out and cut out shapes. 

Here is the Best Roll Out Cookie Recipe!

Ingredients:

1 x cup butter
1 x cup white sugar
1 x large egg
2 x tsp baking powder
2 x tsp vanilla
2-3/4 cups of all purpose flour

Method:

Step 1 - Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2 - Cream the butter and sugar with a mixer (works best if butter is room temperature)

Step 3 - Beat in egg and the vanilla with the mixer

Step 4 - Mix the flour and the baking powder together

Step 5 - Add one cup of flour mixture at a time combining after each addition.

Step 6 - It will be too hard at this point for the mixer, so take it out and add the last 3/4 cup of flour and mix with a spatula or wooden spoon.  The mixture will be quite stiff.

Step 7 - Divide into 2 equal balls

Step 8 - Roll out to the desired thickness, usually about 1/8 inch thick

Step 9 - Cut out with a standard shaped cookie cutter

Step 10 - Quickly roll over your cut out cookies with this patterned rolling pin to create the shapes.  Don't press too hard our may flatten the cookie too much.  The stiffer the dough the better.

This part takes a bit of practice but the results are awesome.

Step 11 - Bake for 6 - 10 minutes until light brown.  They change from perfect to burnt very quickly so don't leave the room!


Now you have perfect cookies for Halloween, for the kids lunch boxes, or just to celebrate the season.

The trick is to create a stiff dough for the cookies that needs to be rolled out so that they will maintain the cute indents you will add.
