Cookie cutters

These are the oldest baking utensils, they were already found in Egypt made of wood or ceramic, that's how old they are!

Today they have evolved a little but their function remains the same: to draw a shape in the cake batter in order to make a decorated biscuit.

The ideal cookie cutters for cutting shortbread cookies are those made of stainless steel or metal. They allow for clean and precise cutting. Highly durable and cost-effective, you can reuse these cutters multiple times and keep them for a long time.

The most classic shapes are those of Christmas or Easter, such as the fir tree, the gingerbread man or even the rabbit.

They are generally used for biscuits but can also be used for salt dough or any other cake batter.
