my husband bought me a dobord. today i made cookies for a babyshower. i needed 100 so i made one batch of the regular no fails and a batch of chocolate. i made my cookies 1/4" thick and the recipes Didn't yield as much as i thought it would. Is 1/4" the normal thickness for a cookie without a stick? I was thinking of making them thinner next time.

I loved the way the chocolate rolled recipe turned out. I used chocolate liquor instead of strong coffee. Is there a real taste difference between the coffee and chocolate liqour? I made bears(chocolate) and chicks(regular). I haven't decorated them yet. I got some satin ice and didn't realize that it was chocolate. Do you think chocolate satin ice will be overkill on the bears? I made a sample one so my husband/taste tester try.

The dobord made everything a uniform thickness which i loved but it seemed very easy to misalign the frame while trying to put the board in the frame. Has anyone else used this and if you have any tips on using i would appreciate it.

Sorry for all of the questions.
Thanks,
manya

I've never used a doboard, but I do my cookies about 1/4" thick.

maybe someone else can help you with the other questions...

I make my cookies 1/4",too.....I cut the recipe in half and got about 2 1/2 dz out of it....

I don't use coffee in my batches, just vanilla. I don't have a doboard, sorry. How did hubby like the cookies? Too much chocolate is never overkill!
I make mine about 1/4" too. I like large cookies so it depends on the size of the cutter you are using, too.

my husband loved the cookies.

i have another question. did your cookies turn out too cripsy? the ones i made had a crisp snap to them.

thanks,

I have had a doboard for about 2 years now and I LOVE IT. I make my sugar cookies on the thickest level and then use a fondant icing over them. Then I just fancy it up with a buttercream icing. I get raves all the time.

Manya, lower the temperature to 325° and bake them a little longer

Could someone provide a link to a

DOBOARD

I've looked it up and obviously the spelling produces some links.. but not many.

Is this a Dough Board? Surely there is a DOBOARD brand, yes?

skylightsky,

here's a link:

my husband got mine at sur la table. it was 59.99 and it came with a rolling pin and some little wooden fork thing to pull out oven racks.

i really like using it. although i think you could go to home depot and make something similar.
