Other Uses for Cookie Cutters – Food

Festive Sandwiches

Make sandwiches as usual. Use your mini cookie cutters and press up to 4 mini sandwich shapes per bread. These are great for teas, parties, showers and weddings. Or use a full size cookie cutter and make a nice surprise holiday sandwich in someone’s lunchbox.
You may also want to experiment with just cutting the bread, then add sandwich filling like peanut butter and jelly or egg salad.

Party Mood Pancakes

The easiest way to make cookie cutter shaped pancakes is to make a regular pancake and then cut it out. But for a nicer effect, start with a hot pan. Spray cooking spray inside a STAINLESS STEEL METAL cookie cutter that has a handle on top. The handle is a must so you can hold the cookie cutter down while you slowly pour the pancake batter into it. Hold in place a few seconds for the pancake to set. You can add a few drops of food coloring appropriate to a holiday, too.

Other breakfast cookie cutter ideas are shaped fried eggs and sausage patties.

Party Platter

Buy lunchmeat and cheese. Ask them to slice it about a ¼ inch thick. Use your mini cutters again to make fun shapes and arrange on a platter. Or you can top crackers with your savory shapes. Makes a nice hostess gift. And you can eat all the cut off pieces!

Hamburger and Meatloaf Molds

Holiday Toast

Lighly press cookie cutter into untoasted bread. Toast in the toaster as usual. The cookie cutter shape should be highlighted on the toast. Or press after toasting and fill the shape with colored sugar and cinnamon.
