Backformen

A picture of my Santa Claus cookies gallery shows the plastic bars at work. They help to roll out pastry evenly. My set contains three thicknesses, 0.098/0.138/0.177 inches. Since the start of baking holiday cookies I’m a convinced follower of these bars. All cookies are of the same thickness and they all need the same baking time to get ready. Also pastry plates for fancy cakes don’t have bruises any more. My bars are made of food safe plastic but you can get them made of beechwood too. They’re about 8 inches long but can be prolongated with further bars. For jam or jelly filled cookies you can take two different bars, the thinner ones for the bottom  and a thicker one for the upper cookie. That allows to take some more jam.
As shown on above picture you can use the cookie cutters to make some nice party snacks too. Cut out white and dark bread, put cheese or anything else between two layers and decorate with the mini motive on top.

Don’t know how precisely these bars are called that’s why I can only place a link for buying them here in Germany.
