I never through of doing cookies like that, but I plan to try it.

Hi Sandy,

I just follow any baking instructions in a cookie recipe as though I was baking the cookies on a sheet or flat pan.

In your examples, when I place the cookie mixture in the muffin cup, I would still use the flat bottomed glass with the sugar coating, pressing that glass down into the bottom of the muffin pan, flattening the cookie dough as the recipe instructs. Remember that since I'm using the silicone muffin pan, the cup itself will stretch enough to allow a small glass to compress the dough into the bottom of the cup. If I'm using a fork, I still don't have a problem because I use the 6 cup silicone muffin pan. I just go around the pan and press the fork down into the bottom of each cup as necessary. Since I'm following around the edge of the pan, my fork will press the edge of the pan down enough to allow that fork to compress the dough as required. I don't know how someone would do that to the cookies in the middle of a 12 cup pan since I only use the 6 cup ones myself.
I hope this makes sense.  I've never had any problems with it.

Hope this helps.

I think this sounds almost too good to be true! What happens like if you are doing cheese Wafers, or shortbreads where they tell you to press them flat with either a fork dipped in flour or a flat-bottomed juice glass dipped in granulated sugar?

Hello Claudia,

I've been baking cookies in muffin pans for several years and wouldn't do them any other way. What made me first attempt this was once I got some silicone muffin pans. These make the job so quick and easy that I don't know why more folks don't use this method.

So, as long as you're using the silicone pans, there's no need to grease them in any way. Nothing I use ever seems to stick to the silicone. Just follow whatever cookie recipe you would for a baking sheet or pan or whatever. Instead of using a greased pan or sheet, just drop the appropriate amount of your cookie mixture into the muffin cup then bake for the suggested time in the usual way. Once the baking is done, remove the pans from the oven, allow them to cool, then turn the pans over and press the centers of each cup to push out your baked cookies.

That's all I do. I regularly receive comments on how a blind person can make such perfectly round cookies.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

For those of you who make your cookies in muffin pans, do you grease the muffin cups, and how much do you fill them with the batter?
Any other tips I need to know?
Thanks.
