A mold to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina. Brown Bag will donate 100% if its profits from the sale of “Our House” Cookie Molds sold over this web site to Habitat For Humanity, with the funds ear-marked for Gulf Coast Relief. “Our House” is a Victorian Gingerbread House, complete with a Gingerbread Family, including dog, out front.

So many homes were wiped out in the hurricane, so many lives were turned up-side down, that it is heart breaking. Brown Bag cookies are first and foremost about sharing something small but special and personal with those we love… with “family”, whether family by birth or family by choice. Families need a home: Habitat For Humanity is working to rebuild homes.

“Our House” cookie molds are made in America and will be available only during 2007. 
The goal is to raise enough money to build a whole house, family to family, cookie by cookie, … Our House.

Helpful Hints For Molding Cookies -  If you are having trouble unmolding your cookie dough...
.
If you are having trouble unmolding your cookie dough...
.
Be sure you have followed one of the recipes we give. They are formulated to taste good and to work with cookie molds.
.
Be sure you chill the dough. This makes it much easier to handle. The one exception is the Chocolate Cookie recipe. Don’t chill it. This is particularly true of the recipe given in the older recipe booklets which call for melted chocolate as an ingredient, rather than cocoa powder. If you chill this recipe, the dough becomes crumbly. It still bakes up into great tasting rolled cookies, but it will fall apart if you try to make molded cookies.
.
Using a pastry brush and just a tiny bit of cooking oil lightly oil the mold. Be sure to oil the mold very lightly. I even take a paper towel and wipe out as much of the oil as I can before I flour the mold and tap it to remove the excess. All you want is a thin film of oil. Remember, it is the flour that is acting as the separator, not the oil. If you have too much oil on the mold, it will act as glue, and your dough will definitely stick.
.
If your dough does stick, clean it out of the mold. Use a dry, stiff brush to scrub it all out, then re-flour your mold, but don’t re-oil it first. The oil from the shortening in the dough will leave enough oil on the mold to hold a film of flour. You will re-flour your mold before each cookie, but you will not re-oil it during a baking session.
.
Don’t be timid about bopping the edge of the mold. Once you flour your mold and pat in the dough, hold the mold perpendicular to a wooden or plastic cutting board (I prefer plastic), and rap it sharply several times to release the dough. The mold should not break if you are holding it perpendicular to the cutting board. Un-mold the cookie onto your baking sheet, re-flour the mold, and repeat.
.
To clean your mold at the end of the baking session, scrub it with a vegetable brush in a pan of hot, soapy water, or put it in the dishwasher.

Helpful Hints for Perfect Shortbread

 Shortbread is so easy to make, and so utterly delicious. The simplicity of the butter, sugar, flour recipe can’t, in my opinion, be beat. To make yours come out perfectly every time, there are just a few simple directives to follow:

Bake your shortbread in the top third of your oven. This way you won’t get too much bottom heat that will cause the bottom of the shortbread to overcook before the top is done.

To make sure that your shortbread releases from the pan cleanly, be sure it is completely cooked in the middle before you remove the pan from the oven. Directions for shortbread baked on a cookie sheet often tell you to cook the shortbread only until the top of the cookies just barely begin to color. This is not the case with shortbread made in one of the Brown Bag Cookie Art Shortbread Pans.

Since you will be cooking your shortbread in the top third of the oven, you will get some top browning as the cookie bakes. The surface of the shortbread should be a toasty light brown when it is cooked. It should never appear raw or slightly opaque in the middle. If it is under-baked in the middle, it will probably stick in the pan when you go to unmold it.

Be sure to let the shortbread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before you flip the pan over to unmold it. This gives the delicate cookie a chance to firm up a bit. After cooling for 10 minutes, hold the pan parallel to and 1” above a wooden or plastic cutting board, face down, and unceremoniously drop it. This jars the shortbread, and it drops right out of the pan.

Slice the shortbread into serving pieces using a thin, sharp knife, while it is still hot. If you wait until it cools, it will become flakey and too fragile to cut cleanly.


Peanut Butter Cookie Bones! Recipe idea for the fall...
 

                      Kids love lots of things, including cookies, Peanut butter, and a good joke. This fall, as you pack up
                      school lunches, give them all three. Peanut Butter Cookies made in the shape of large doggie bones.
                      Their friends will probably think that your kids are eating Great Dane sized treats made for the
                      family canine, mistakenly packed by a sleepy mother. What fun! You will know that you are secretly
                      giving your kids a tasty dessert that is good for them, full of extra protein from peanut butter and
                      egg. But don't tell them?

                      Peanut Butter Cookies

                      ½ cup butter, at room temperature
                      1 cup sugar
                      ½ cup creamy peanut butter
                      1 egg, NOT extra large
                      1 teaspoon vanilla extract
                      1 Tablespoon cream
                      2 cups flour (scoop the flour from the bag, then level the measure)

                      Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the peanut butter and stir well. I use ordinary commercial
                      peanut butter in this recipe because the consistency is always the same. If you use fresh ground
                      peanut butter make sure it has about the consistency as the ordinary supermarket variety. You will
                      also need to add a pinch of salt if the peanut butter you are using is unsalted.

                      Now stir in the egg and vanilla. Stir in 1 cup of flour, the cream, then the rest of the flour. Knead the
                      dough for a minute, then refrigerate it for about an hour. Using a Cookie Bone ceramic cookie mold
                      (or any other, for that matter), form the cookies as directed in your recipe booklet, or refer to the
                      section on this web site titled

                      ?x201C;Helpful Hints For Molding Cookies?x201D;. Bake your cookies on an ungreased baking
                      sheet until they are a toasty brown, with edges that are darker than the rest of the cookie. Remove
                      the cookies from the baking sheet while they are still hot, and let them cool completely on a rack
                      before packing them up into lunch boxes.

Shortbread for the Holidays
                      Orange Poppy Seed Shortbread
                                A contemporary twist for an old favorite...

                      ½ cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature

                     1/3 cup unsifted powdered sugar

                      1 Tablespoon finely grated orange zest

                      1 cup unsifted all purpose flour

                      1 Tablespoon poppy seeds

                      Cream the butter. Cream in the powdered sugar and the orange zest, then the poppy seeds.
                      Now work in the flour. Knead the dough on a very lightly floured surface until it is smooth.

                      Lightly spray your shortbread pan with a non-stick vegetable oil spray. Firmly press the dough
                      into the pan, working from the center out. Prick the entire surface of the shortbread with a folk,
                     and bake right in the pan in a 325 to 350 oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until it is lightly browned.
                      Be sure the center of the shortbread is completely cooked and doesn’t look a little opaque or
                      “doughy.”

                      Let the shortbread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before you flip the pan over on to a cutting
                      board. If the shortbread doesn’t come right out, hold the pan about 1” above the board and tap
                      one edge sharply. The whole shortbread should drop out on to the cutting board.

                      Slice the shortbread into serving pieces while it is still warm, using a thin, sharp knife.

                      Let the pan cool before washing it in the sink or dishwasher.
