Cookie cutters and embossers for cookies and fondant

Cutters and embossing molds for dough and fondant

Cookie cutters turn rolled-out dough into stars, hearts, animals or letters. Whether it's Christmas cookies, cookies for a children's birthday or small motifs for cake decorating, here you'll find cutters and embossers for many occasions.

How to get clean outlines

Metal cutters, for example stainless steel ones, usually have a thinner cutting edge and are good for fine outlines. Plastic cutters are often slightly blunter and comfortable to hold. Embossers also press a pattern into the surface. Shortcrust dough is easiest to cut when it's well chilled. If you dip the cutter in flour now and then, the dough releases more easily. The more delicate the motif, the firmer the dough should be so fine points don't tear when you lift it. For fondant and marzipan, dust the cutter with cornstarch instead. Dry metal cutters thoroughly right after washing.

Tip: Cutters also work for salt dough, play dough or modeling clay. Keep separate cutters for this and don't use them for food again.
