If you make these cookies....do you prefer wooden or metal rods to curl the dough on?

I need new ones....and I am wondering how the metal ones work...

@NataliesgrammaI don't care for the metal ones as often they can stick and you have to spray them before using which can be messy.  I like the ones made from wooden dowels and round clothespins wrapped in foil.  I use the hair foils and they are the perfect size so no need to cut foil and I've never had sticking dough and I often make several hundreds for Christmas.

Oh my goodness!  I didn't know what they were so I googled them.

I would eat so many I would make myself sick!

LOL!!! You & me both. I'm clueless as to what the OP is talking about. I will also go Google it.

I clicked on the post because I never heard of clothespin or ladylock cookies. I thought perhaps they were talking about something else???

For anyone else that has never heard of them.

Yum!!! They look good.

Recipe by:Donna Pierson/All Recipes

"Puff pastry cookies wrapped on clothes pins, baked and then filled. 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch dowels cut 4 inches long work well. Clothes pins may spring open in the oven and break the pastry. These are best if baked on insulated cookie sheets."

Ingredients

• 1 pound butter, softened
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 1/4 cups ice water
• 1 cup milk

 

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups shortening
• 8 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Mix 1/4 pound of the butter with 3 cups of flour, 2 tablespoons white sugar, egg yolks, and water. (Done like making pie dough with a pastry blender.)
2. Chill for 1 hour then roll out like pie dough on a floured pastry sheet. Spread another 1/4 pound of the butter over dough. Fold dough together and refrigerate 1 hour. Repeat this procedure until all of the butter is used.
3. Cut dough into fourths. Wrap each quarter in plastic wrap. Chill.
4. Take out one quarter at a time and allow to stand at room temperature long enough that it softens enough that the dough can be rolled.
5. Roll dough out on floured pastry sheet/ board. Cut dough into 1/2 inch wide X 4-5 inch long strips. Wrap around clothes pins or dowel pins pinching ends.
6. Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned. Slide off sticks while still very warm and then cool completely.
7. To Make Filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, cook 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup flour until thick stirring constantly. Let cool.
8. Cream together shortening, confectioners' sugar, marshmallow cream, and vanilla. Add cooked mixture to creamed mixture and beat till fluffy. Fill cooled pastry curls with filling.
