I love to bake. It has been something I have always loved to do, even as a small child. I grew up living nextdoor to my grandparents. My grandma let me cook anything I wanted almost every afternoon, after she would walk me home from school. We would go straight to her kitchen, where she would have a snack waiting for me and then she would hand me the cookbook and say "Pick whatever you want to make today."
So naturally I was very excited when I found The Cookie Cutter Guy on Etsy. Sandy sent me an Owl cookie cutter to review. Finley and I made sugar cookies for Aaron yesterday and we had to try out our new cookie cutter. I have to say, I was very impressed with this cookie cutter. I'm pretty picky about my cookie cutters because I have had so many that either don't hold their shape and the cookie turns out looking like a blob and nothing that even remotely resembles the shape I was going for. The owl cutter is very nice, sturdy not flimsy at all, and it cut beautifully.
I was worried at first about the small parts of the cutter getting dough stuck in them and the shapes not turning out. No problem with that at all. The dough came out smoothly and we had perfect little owls.
Once baked, the cookies were still perfect. I'm very impressed and will continue to order from Sandy from now on. I'm throwing out my old cutters that leave me with blobs. Finley had so much fun baking with me. We were both covered in flour and frosting when we were done. But we had a blast. Also I had every intention on using my piping bags to decorate these cookies, but Fin insisted on "Purpey" (purple) owls with sprinkles.
I ended up doing some Orange ones too. But still never got time to sit down and decorate them super cute. Maybe when both kiddos are napping at the same time.
Sandy is offering one of my readers the chance to win their own set of 4 cookie cutters of their choice. Just in time for christmas baking!

Jenn- The wine glass and the martini glass cookie cutters are so cute! Im going to my girlfriends soon, she just got a new condo. It would be fun to bring cookies like that. The child in me also adores the princess crown!
I am looking forward to making gingerbread cookies for my co workers! We are having a hoilday party and they are going to be perfect. Gingerbread cookies arent as yummy as sugar cookies but so much funner to make!
Oh my, absolutely love them all but I love the deer head and the hammer...so unique, maybe I could make camo frosted cookies....but the teacher in me also loved the crayon.
I follow you on fb.
we are in Jamaica, and are in need of christmas decorations, so what better way then to make some with the adorable cookie cutters. Thank you for doing this, very cool
I love the Snowman and the Pine Tree with Star for Christmas Cookies! I'd like to use the Muffin or Cupcake one for favors for baby's first birthday! And I think also the football one to make sweets for the Super Bowl (where hopefully my team will be playing!)
