Cookie Cutters Can Make Baking Fun
The cookie cutter has been a feature in every kitchen for hundreds of years. Each of us has fond childhood memories of baking our first cookies in the kitchen with our mothers, using a cookie cutter to make pretty shapes. Early cookie cutters were crafted by dipping iron into molten tin to coat it.
The metal was shaped into strips which were then cut and had the edges rounded for safety purposes. The strips were then shaped by hand into popular shapes. Alternatively detail imprints were made available so that patterns could be impressed into the cookie dough before baking. To emboss patterns a mold was created and the pattern debossed into the material, which was usually made from wood, ceramic or plastic.
Over time the phrase cookie cutter has become synonymous with a means to describe people who lacked original ideas. Indeed, it is a device for repeating the same pattern without alteration of any kind, hence it being quite a fitting description. Of course, the shape can be easily altered by using a different mold.
If you find the traditional ginger bread man a little passe, why not look around for some fun and interesting shapes. Having a Christmas party? Why not decorate the tree with cookies shaped like Christmas trees? For Halloween delight the little ones with cookies in the shape of Halloween pumpkins, bats, angry cats, spiders, webs, new moons or witches hats.
Plan an evening dinner for Valentines day and for dessert, bring out a batch of cookies in the shape of hearts, doves, or flying cupids. For a wedding treat, you could have iced cookies in the shape of wedding cakes, champagne glasses, brides and grooms, lips or love birds.
Thanksgiving Day could see you serving delicious cookies shaped like squirrels, maple leaves, pumpkins, turkeys or oak leaves. As an interesting idea for a birthday party use a safari theme and serve elephant shaped cookies, or use giraffes, lions, flamingos, camels, alligators, hippos, kangaroos and monkeys.
Celebrate a stork party or baby shower by presenting the mother to be with a basket full of biscuits in various shapes. Storks, baby bottles, prams, crayons, baby rattles, pacifiers, rocking horses, party hats and baby booties are just a few ideas you could use.
Delight the children at Easter with bunny shaped biscuits or ones that are in the shape of Easter baskets or Easter eggs, colorfully decorated with icing. Create carrot shaped biscuits with green and orange icing for a tasty treat which can be enjoyed by all. For a festive St Patrick's Day serve cookies in the shape of Irish Derby hats, leprechauns and shamrocks.
You can buy beautiful cookie cutter gift sets with a variety of shapes. Fun shaped cookies are not just for the young folks and adults can enjoy them with equal fervor. Have a nautical themed party, have everyone dress as sea creatures and serve cookies shaped like seagulls, octopus, penguins, whales, turtles, tropical fish, starfish and dolphins. You are only limited by your imagination, so be creative and have fun.
