Where Can I Buy Cookie Cutters?

The closest place near you to buy a cookie cutter is probably your grocery store. 

In smaller stores, it might be a seasonal item. 

I found Christmas cookie cutters right after Halloween at Shaw’s (aka Star Market)

I just ordered a bunny cookie cutter for Easter from this Etsy shop. They are super cute.

Are plastic or metal cookie cutters better?

I recommend metal cutters. Metal does a better job of cutting through dough than plastic cutters.

Metal cutters, while prone to rust, will keep their shape and look super cute hanging from a cookie cutter Christmas tree.

What are the best cookie cutters?

The best brands include Ann Clark, Wilton and Ateco.

What can I use instead of a cookie cutter?

Use the rim of a drinking glass to cut out circle-shaped cookies. Or you could use a ruler or a bench scraper to make square or rectangle cookies. If you want to make small round cookies, you could try using the cap from a gallon water jug.

You'll need cookie cutters to make shapes such as these Lemon Shortbread Heart Cookies or these No-Stick Cut-Out Sugar Cookies or Black Cocoa Cut-Out Cookies.
