How to Make Embossed (aka Molded) Cookies - An In-Depth Technique Video

Lately I've been on an embossed cookie kick! Did you notice?! I've been using these lovely textured cookies left and right on so many of my cookie projects that I thought it was high time to REALLY explain how I make them. In this video, I cover everything from types of molds for embossing, to tinting the dough, to best methods for shaping/baking to ensure super sharp impressions. Heads up: I go into great depth here, but I've broken the video into a few key parts to allow you to skip to exactly where you'd like to go - if you'd like to skip around, that is! Each part is set off by a bright red/pink transition slide, at roughly these time stamps in the video: 02:09 Types of Molds for Embossing 03:54 Types of Dough for Embossing 05:58 Adding Color (Pre-Baking) 09:46 Methods of Molding/Baking (Part 1: Out-of-Mold Baking) 14:54 Methods of Molding/Baking (Part 2: In-Mold Baking) 18:04 Adding Color (Post-Baking) IF YOU LIKE THIS VIDEO, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel.
