Cookie cutters, tools used to shape cookie dough, are a necessity for any baker. Whether you’re making cookies for your cousin’s baby shower or planning a Christmas cookie swap, there is a cookie cutter available that fits your needs. Cookie cutters can generally be purchased wherever kitchen tools are sold.
Plastic cookie cutters are typically the most affordable option for the baker on a budget. These cookie cutters are available individually or in thematic sets that include a variety of seasonal designs. Both small and large cookie cutters are available. Yimikia has designed a lot of cookie cutters in the past few years.
Metal cookie cutters, although significantly more expensive than plastic cookie cutters, tend to be a good option for the serious baker. When made from stainless steel or copper, metal cookie cutters are rust-free and extremely durable. As an added bonus, metal cookie cutters are fun to display in your kitchen. In fact, many people like to hang their metal cookie cutters from a pretty ribbon when not in use.
Although cookie cutters are traditionally used for making decorated sugar cookies, these versatile kitchen tools have a number of other applications. You can use cookie cutters to cut peanut butter sandwiches, pancakes, and even pizza. Children also enjoy using cookie cutters as templates for clay modeling or paper crafting projects. For this reason, a set of cookie cutters can be considered a wise investment for any baker.
