Wilton Round Shot Glass Silicone Mold, 8-Cavity

A lot of the reviewers were expressing frustration with the difficulty of removing a cookie from the cookie mold after baking. However I used a recipe that uses extremely soft cookie dough. Out of over a dozen cookie shots, I didn't have a single one come out ruined. Maybe one in three or one in six had a small chunk come off the lip while removing them from the mold, but all of them function perfectly fine as shot glasses.All in all, my friends love these cookie shots. And my friends who don't drink just eat them like cookies. One of these cookie shots has 2 to 3 cookies worth of cookie dough, it's insane.I'll say it's a pain in the rear end to jam the cookie dough into the mold, you really gotta get in there with a spoon. Takes some elbow grease. You also have to be careful while removing the cookie shots. But if you smash the cookie dough into the mold and you carefully remove the cookie shots you will not have an issue. I highly recommend using a softer dough batter. A dough batter with more grease or butter or fat for example.By the way the cookie shots in my picture, I added homemade chocolate ganache to the inside to make them waterproof. We poured several shots worth of milk into a single cookie shot and the darn thing would not start getting soggy or leaking at all. We were expecting that the cookie shots would start to fall apart and we would have to eat them carefully or suffer some sort of mess. But no these things are really sturdy. And you can chuck them in your freezer and they'll last for months.

I bought this mold to make shot glasses out of hard candy (I used Jolly Ranchers). It works really well for that...and chocolate...and jello...and gummy bears. It's a lot of fun. I would definitely make a first batch before depending on it for guests on the first run. The instructions on the package don't specifically say that you can put this mold in the oven (though the amazon description does), but I have not had any issues with putting them in the oven at all. For my hard candy shot glasses, I just preheated the oven to 350 degrees, filled the mold with candies and put them in for about 11 minutes. After I took them out, I just used the back of a spoon to work the air bubbles out toward the edges so that everything came out smooth. Chocolate is much easier to melt and get the air bubbles out and wouldn't even require the oven (though I'll bet you could).I looked at the negative reviews to try to figure out what would make someone not like this mold. I think maybe some people are expecting to use them more as dessert bowls - they're shot glasses. Not sure that cookies would hold liquid. I'm not sure that ice would stay viable long enough to pick up with your warm finger and contents that you put in the glass. I never noticed any smell from my mold at all, even after heating them in the oven. I never had any issues with them not holding the shape of a shot glass. No need to spray the molds with any non-stick spray. Haven't had any problem with the contents not popping out correctly or "not working". However, what they do well is perform as a shot glass just as I expected

It is a great item. It has made my projects so much easier

This worked great. My only complaint is how thick the cups are. If you make chocolate cups it takes a lot of chocolate and is a little much for 1 dessert.

Bought to make chocolate candles, chocolate was too thick and it was inedible. But it looked really good and the mold can be used for other stuff

The mint candy shot cups came out so perfectly. I can't wait to try making a shot cup mold using other candies and desserts.

I had a plan. Hear me out before you judge. My idea was to fill these shot-glass molds with Jello. Then when done to fill them with whipped cream and impress my friends with my culinary creativity and with how much spare time I had on my hands (I'm retired).Problem 1:Well, the Jello would not come out of the molds without being massacred. You can run Jello molds under warm water to aid in the separation but I think this works best on large molds. I didn't want to try spraying the molds beforehand with some sort of oil. Not for Jello. Still, we have our best minds working on a solution to the problem.Problem 2:This silicone mold is unbelievably floppy and getting a filled mold into the refrigerator without spilling is beyond the skills of even magicians like Penn and Teller. I spilled cherry Jello juice all over the floor first time I tried. What a mess. I ended up putting the mold on a small, flat tray to get it in the fridge intact. What's scary is how much the silicone mold feels like Jello when it's set.I don't drink alcohol but I was wondering if you filled the mold with, lets say Vodka, and froze it then used that frozen shot-glass to dump into a beer that would make a cool Boilermaker drink. I have no idea what happens when you freeze alcohol so don't blame me if your freezer self-destructs.So, I have these molds and I'm wondering what else I could put in them. I'm going to keep this product just because it seems like a creative outlet to experiment with. I guess you could bake with them but I have no idea how silicone does in an oven. I won't be trying that but I will try some more frozen desserts. I'd like to recreate the old Jello 1-2-3 dessert from the 70's.
