You can tell they are keys. I'll post the recipe I used and the changes I made later. Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions.

Cookie Solution #1
Ok, here's what I was talking about with the key cookies. This is a picture of one of the better looking cookies after it was frosted with a glaze that hardens and shines when it dries. I should have taken a picture before it was frosted, but I forgot. See how the bottom right of the cookie is "fat" and not defined? That is what I'm trying to fix. Of course I decided to go ahead and frost these even though they aren't great. This is a pretty messy frosting job, but I was just playing around with my options.
I decided to see how it would look if I cut out rectangles and used the cookie cutter as part of the decoration/frosting rather than the shape. Again, this was just a test so the rectangle isn't perfect.

In another test, I cut out some hearts and frosted them in red. After they dried, I took the key cookie cutter and just "cut" a key-shaped outline in the center of the heart. (I tried to get a picture but I couldn't get it to come out right so you can see the key in the middle of the cookie.) It's not bad, but I like the rectangle cookie above better. I even like the ragged edge of the key. I think it's fitting for Halloween season. :-)
I've got another recipe to try (thanks Heleen), so I'll keep you posted.
Cookies...HELP!
I'm baking cookies for the bank tonight (ok, it's technically morning) and the cut-outs did not turn out as planned. :-(
The bank bought a key cookie cutter, which is ok, but the cookies puff up too much and the key becomes unrecognizable. I've tried two different recipes and both of them did this. I've tried making the cookies thinner, but that didn't matter. ARGGGGHHHH I'm frustrated!
Anyone have a cut-out recipe that doesn't puff up too much that they'd be willing to share? I'm going to send what I have tomorrow (later this morning actually), but try something else for the balance of the order for Friday.
