Cookie cutter is a kitchen tool designed to shape doughs, primarily in the making of cookies, although it is also used to cut cakes, fondant, and other malleable ingredients. It is generally made of metal, plastic, or silicone, and comes in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, allowing for the creation of decorative and uniform figures that facilitate the presentation and baking of preparations.
The origin of the cookie cutter dates back to European traditions, where preparing cookies in specific shapes was common for festivals and celebrations. Over time, its use has spread worldwide, making it an indispensable tool in bakeries and home kitchens.
From a functional standpoint, the cookie cutter allows for the precise and uniform preparation of portions, which contributes to even cooking and an attractive presentation. Furthermore, it facilitates working with delicate doughs without deforming them.
In different Spanish-speaking countries, the cookie cutter is also known as a cookie mold, cookie cutter, or simply dough cutter. Its versatility makes it ideal for recipes that require specific shapes, from classic cookies to elaborate decorations for cakes and desserts.
