Trying to bake chocolate chip cookies and may have run into a snag. Help!?

Question by tomlawbcs: Trying to bake chocolate chip cookies and may have run into a snag. Help!?
The making of the dough was not a problem. But I thought me and my daughter could make “decorative” Christmas cookies out of chocolate chip dough. I see now that this may be a problem.

Anyway, we have a boot-star-tree and do we use the ornaments to put the dough in and then leave them on while we cook the cookies or remove the ornaments?

I guess it all could work. But I can see now why sugar cookies and the like are more common for decorative cookies…

The cookies are going to spread and distort the shape you’re looking to create. You could bake the cookies by pressing all the dough into a baking sheet and then cutting the shape you want after they’ve cooked and cooled slightly. You can then outline and decorate the shape with some stiff frosting to make it more clear what the shape is.
