Good Old Fashioned Cookies

Use your favourite silicon mould for fun shapes...

Recipe Creator: Jennifer Walsh

Today I pulled out one of my silicone moulds and made these sweet little Owl-Shaped Chocolate Chip Cookies, a simple from-scratch bake that turned into another little cooking lesson for me.

I originally thought chocolate chips would be perfect, but while working the dough into the owl mould, I quickly discovered that they interrupted the shape and detail of the silicone mould. After taking the cookies out from the oven and tasting them, I decided to alter a few ingredients, and use chocolate shavings rather than chocolate chips in the future.

I just know chocolate shavings will work perfectly, allowing the little owl details to show through, while still giving us those lovely pockets of chocolate.

My 1st batch, you can see how the choc-chips interrupted the shape, chocolate shavings will do the trick.

I hope you enjoy making these little cookies as much as we did. Choose your favourite silicone mould, have a little fun with the shapes, and don’t worry if they’re not perfectly formed — homemade rarely is, and I think that’s part of the charm.

If you give this recipe a try, I’d love to hear how you went. Leave me a comment below and let me know what shape you chose, or if you made any little changes of your own. We can continue learning from one another, one recipe at a time.

Happy baking,
