Sparky - just made your Monster Cookies again!

[Sparky]

You're welcome. (The recipe is posted in the Halloween section of my Beetlejuice page here for anyone who wants it). I posted about them originally in the Spam section and I believe the Spam section is unsearchable since guests and bots can't access it. I tracked it down though, here it is.

Anyways I just made these myself for Thanksgiving a couple weeks ago in leaf shapes iced in autumn colors and they were great. I actually tried something a little different this time, I added about a teaspoon of marangue powder to the icing. It made it even stiffer. I thought at first it was maybe too stiff, almost crunchy, but it did in fact make it less messy when the cookies were piled on the plate and later stored in ziplock bags. So that's another option.

I actually recently tracked down a place that carried set of powdered icing colors because I'd heard so many good things about those. Haven't used them yet but I will soon, maybe this weekend, as it's time for Christmas cookies.

Oh edit again, at the same baking supply place I got the icing powder I got a set of those rolling pin rings, for rolling dough out at a consistent thickness. I'm going to try them next time I make this recipe, I hope they work. I do also have some parchment paper this time, I ought to use that.
