Cookie Cutter Challenge
Friends of mine challenged each other to come up with new uses for a standard gingerbread man cutter that we all have! We bring him out once a year at Christmas time and then he sits lonely and neglected the rest of the year in our cookie cutter bins.
When the gingerbread man was suggested, I have to admit, I rolled my eyes, because I have already made 35 different people with my gingerbread man - what else was I going to make? I started by turning the cutter upside down and looking at it for a while and thought of the hyacinth bulb...... and then turned it sideways and thought of a bird. The cactus idea happened when I was decorating the others and luckily I had a little leftover dough in the fridge and made another cookie!
Hopefully this inspires you to look at some of your cutters in a new light! I've posted individual photos of these cookies if you want a closer look!
