Snowmen Ah, the classic snowman. Cookie cutter providers make this cutter in virtually every size, from miniature to cookie cake.

Trees Christmas tree cookie cutters fall into the oldie but goodie category. Again, piping icing onto the cookies when they are baked will give your cookies a finished look. These make a wonderful host or hostess gift. Pipe the first letter of the host or hostesss last name onto the middle of each tree, and you have custom-made monogram trees to gift. Best of all, theyre edible!
Reindeers Why not make your cookie cutters into a holiday display thats so creative, people will (almost) not want to eat them? Hitch that Santa cookie to a whole sleigh pulled by his reindeer, complete with Rudolphs bright red nose. Its sure to be a hit.
Draw a mosaic on each cookie with icing, or provide plain cookies to your guests and have a frosting party.
The entire crche Yes, you can duplicate the birth of the Christ child in cookie form! Purchase a crche cookie cutter set, and youll have the entire display at the ready, complete with the wise men, baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the barn. Perhaps youll find an extra-creative set with cutters in the shapes of frankincense and myrrh.
Whether your cookies are known for their delectable taste, their creative form or both, you can make the decision to make this Christmas the holiday of the cookie. Happy baking, cookie lovers!
