Love reading this blog, and I too, prefer to have a fabulous tasting something, rather than a pretty just okay. I must admit that the new sprinkles are too pretty to pass up and may need to get some so that I can adorn the tasty cookies with something equally as good as the cookie! One quick question, though, when you cut out the smaller stars, should you bake them along with the larger cookies, as their cooking time would be less? I could see me with beautiful large starts and toasted little stars. Or do they not need special attention? Or were they baked seperately on another sheet? Thanks again for all the goodies and inspiration!
Robby, the little stars do get slightly browner than the big stars if you bake them together. But it helps if you put them in the center of the cookie sheet, surrounded by the bigger stars, as the cookies on the edge (the big stars) always bake faster. I'm just not that particular - didn't mind having slightly browner little stars. But for sure you can bake them separately if you like. Have fun -PJH
