For a 2 inch rolling pin, does anyone know what size rings I'd need to buy to make a nice thick cookie to go on a stick. I saw some at Williams of Sonoma, but the thickest ring didn't look that thick to me. I just hate it when my cookies are not rolled out nice and even. I use dowels for my regular cookies, but cookies on a stick requires a thicker cookie. Sure appreciate any input. Thanks so much! Flower

I can't answer your question directly but could you use some square wooden rods from the home improvement store? I don't know if you could find something suitable but if you can, just use one on each side of your rolling pin.

I have a similar question. Ive seen the bands for the small sized rolling pin from Wilton, but what about the larger size??? Do they even exist and if so where can i find them... icon_confused.gif ???

I bought mine online from Bed, Bath and Beyond, it's a set of 4 rings I think the biggest being 3/8.

I ordered mine from www.countrykitchensa.com and it was a set of four... 3/8", 1/4", 3/16", 1/8" I believe. It was only $8. I ordered it with a bunch of other stuff so the shipping wasn't bad. These fit a 'standard' rolling pin, not the long thinner french rolling pin.

Edited to add: What DON'T I buy from them? Hehehe... only the stuff I get at icingimages!! icon_wink.gif

I bought a set of 4 for 2" dia. pin for $6.99 Kitchen Kreations, Farmington, MI. The largest is 3/8". I actually wanted my cookies 1/2" thick (before baking) cause it's easier pushing a stick in a thick cookie vs a thinner 3/8" one. I figured I needed some type of frame (can't roll the dough right in the cookie sheet on parchment; ends up too thick). I went to the dollar store, bought a cheap plastic 1/2" thick (take a ruler) 8x10 picture frame (easy to wash; never rusts or swells or rots like wood), removed the back and plastic glass. Layed a pc. of parchment on the counter, threw a ball of dough in the middle, layed another pc of parchment on top, rolled out the dough, cut a couple cookies out, set the frame aside, removed the scraps, pushed in the sticks and slipped the cookies (bottom parchment and all) onto the cookie sheet. Shaz zam! Even though you're only cutting out a couple at a time, it goes quick and they're easier to handle than a whole sheet full. Of course after I came up with this idea, I saw the 2 (1/2" thick) pieces of wood being used on a food channel challenge or by Duff. Oh yeah, the rings...are labeled 'CK Products Fort Wayne, IN'
Sorry for exxxxxxxxxtra info, thought it might help (yeah call me cheap, but my experiment worked...I made many bouquets with the frame). icon_redface.gif

That's ingenious!! That's what I'm talking about... figuring things out to be cost effective and save time! That's what I'm all about. I pat you on the back Delynn for being creative and coming up with that!!! I only cut a few cookies at a time anyway because like you said, it's easier to work with small amounts of dough! Oh, and if it's labeled CK products, then it's the same set that I bought at country kitchenn sweetart!! Those are nice, but I like your idea better because frankly, sometimes those can slip off. icon_wink.gif

Apparently great minds do think alike, I also posted to another thread about the frame I made from the wooden square dowels, of course after the big dobord ($79.00 and none available, if I remembe correctly) frenzy on this site last year.

It works well just like Delynn's pic frame. And can be made in as many sizes as the dowels come.

Call me a cheapie but I can afford $.44.
