    Where Can I Find Cookie Cutters?

    Published: Nov 22, 2020 · Updated: Mar 8, 2021 by Jennifer · This post may contain affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

    Where can I find cookie cutters is a question that gets asked occasionally in a cookie baking group I'm in

    I've drafted a list for you of over 20 stores that carry cookie cutters, not including your local grocery store, which usually has them.

    Where Can I Buy Cookie Cutters?

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

    I found these holiday themed cutters at Shaw's aka Star Market.

    In smaller stores, it might be a seasonal item. 

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

    Here are more than 20 stores that sell cookie cutters:

    • Walmart
    • Target
    • Amazon
    • Hallmark Gift Shops
    • Gift shops
    • Party stores (Party City and others)
    • Kitchen Supply stores (Williams Sonoma, Sur La Table)
    • Cake supply stores
    • Craft stores (Michaels, JoAnns Fabrics)
    • Christmas Tree Shop
    • Dollar stores (Dollar Tree carries cutters)
    • Warehouse stores (Big Lots)
    • T.J. Maxx
    • Marshall's
    • Bed, Bath and Beyond
    • Department stores (Macy's, Kohl's, Nordstrom--check kitchenware departments)
    • Thrifts shops (Goodwill)
    • Antique shops
    • Tag sales
    • Etsy
    • Online sources (King Arthur Baking Co.
    • Your relative's kitchen or attic or basement

    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.

    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.

      Do you remember when you had to bring a "Y" food to school? Not sure what grade you were in. Your father made a metal "Y" shaped cookie cutter and you made sugar cookies and used that cookie cutter. Wonder what happened to that cookie cutter?
