Really proud of the 200 circus animal-esque “dinosaur” cookies I made for my little nephew’s birthday party.
Learned a few things:
-
It was my first time using candy melt. Added 2 1/2ish tbps of crisco to thin it out. Think it was still a little thick. But the cookies on their own turned out very bland. So the extra flavor/sweetness from the candy melt was welcome.
-
If putting sprinkles on the candy melt of a cookie with this kind of rise, I think adding extra loose sprinkles to the tray they’re hardening on and giving the tray a shake would help get sprinkles on the sides of the cookies too. Not just the tops. But I felt like I was already doing a lot.
-
I used a dinosaur silicone mold to make the sugar cookies. The mold worked great for the gummy candies I made last month. Lots of detail. But I will never use a mold like that again for a candy melt cookie. The process was way too time consuming for something that would’ve gotten the same final detail results from a basic cookie cutter. (Last couple slides show the pre-candy melt cookies and the gummies).
But all in all a rawr-ing success.

I want to be your friend so bad
I too recently tried thinning chocolate. Didn’t get thin enough either. I think they say to use coconut oil or something. If you find a good way lmk ):
Cute!
You have a recipe for the gummies? They look amazing!
Ooooh my gosh I have these same molds, and even though you did explicitly say it’s not worth it you have still inspired me 💀 never thought to use them for something other than gummies, but I’m so intrigued!!
