The Christmas bakery at my house has now closed for the season, but before I pack things away I wanted to share some new cookie cutters that are especially appropriate for those of us who love cups and mugs. These cookie cutters create a little notch in your sugar cookie dough so that you can slip the cookie onto the rim of your teacup or mug. What a cute idea!
I found mine some weeks ago at a HomeGoods store. I could see there was a shooting star, a regular star and a Christmas tree, and I couldn't quite see the fourth cookie cutter because of the price sticker.
When I got home and removed the cookie cutters from the packaging, I *still* couldn't tell what the fourth one was. Can you? My husband's guess of "a Santa cap" makes the most sense, I guess, although I do think it also looks a bit like a hammer.
I love the English translation on the package, which seems a little off somehow but is still quite charming. I've seen these cookie cutters in other designs too, and I'm going to be on the lookout for some heart-shaped ones for Valentine's Day. It's never too early to start planning for holidays in the new year!
I saw these too at TJ Maxx and almost bought them --now I'm sorry I didn't! And I bet they won't be there when I go back!
ReplyDeleteThose cookie cutters are really cute - I've never seen them before. I thought "Santa hat" as soon as I saw the fourth cutter.
ReplyDeleteThe red star cookie looks so pretty with your Christmas teacup.
I sooooooooo need these!
ReplyDeleteThis is all new to me.
ReplyDeleteHow charming. I thought everyone was cutting the notches out by hand. Silly me!
ReplyDeleteSanta cap, and those are adorable! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteOh my, these are darling!! I've never seen cutters like these before either--I think I will do a quick google/amazon search and see what I can come up with. And definitely a Santa's hat! :)
ReplyDeleteHow clever!
ReplyDeleteWhy did I not think of that !
ReplyDeleteVery clever cutters !
I love these! I've never seen them before but I'll be watching for them too. I agree with your husband, I think the last one is a Santa or elf hat. If you draw a straight line across the bottom to close in the cut out it may be easier to see.
ReplyDeleteVery cute cutters! I also had to comment that I love your holly cup and saucer!!
ReplyDeletehow cute! I've not seen these before.
ReplyDeleteWhat neat cookie cutters! I have never seen them before, thanks for sharing, Joanie
