Whether you're making everyday cookies or baking for a special celebration, here's how to use cookie cutters to make the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/cut-out-cookie-recipes-to-make-all-year-long\/\">cutout cookies<\/a>.\r\n<h2>The Best Cookie Cutters to Use<\/h2>\r\nCookie cutters come in many different forms, from plastic to aluminum and stainless steel. There isn't one particular material that works best, according to our Test Kitchen. But for optimal results, use sturdy cutters that will hold their shape when you apply pressure.\r\n\r\nIf you're looking for a very specific or personalized shape, 3D-printed cutters are a great option. You can find customized 3D-printed cookie cutters on Etsy. (Just keep in mind, they're typically hand-wash only.)\r\n<h2>Other Tools for Cutout Cookies<\/h2>\r\n[embed_section]\r\n\r\n[embed-content image=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/TOH-ecomm-rolling-pin-via-amazon.jpg\" title=\"Rolling Pin\" buybutton=\"Shop Now\" linkurl=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rolling-WoodenRoll-Fondant-Tapered-Construction\/dp\/B082WF6MG2\/\" newtab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n[embed-content image=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/caraway-sheet-pan-via-carawayhome.com-ecomm.png\" title=\"Sheet Pan\" buybutton=\"Shop Now\" linkurl=\"https:\/\/www.carawayhome.com\/products\/large-baking-sheet\/\" newtab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n[embed-content image=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/reynolds-wrap-parchment-paper-ecomm-via-target.jpg\" title=\"Parchment Paper\" buybutton=\"Shop Now\" linkurl=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Reynolds-Kitchens-Parchment-Paper-Square\/dp\/B079QB239H\/\" newtab=\"true\" \/]\r\n\r\n[\/embed_section]\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rolling-WoodenRoll-Fondant-Tapered-Construction\/dp\/B082WF6MG2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Rolling pin<\/b><\/a><b>:<\/b> The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-rolling-pin-for-your-baking-needs\/\">type of rolling pin<\/a> you use is a personal preference.

Step 1: Choose the right cookie recipe\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1270304\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/HCCBZ19_19250_B05_24_3b.jpg?fit=700,800\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/>\r\n\r\nAlthough you can use cookie cutters with any type of cookie dough, you'll get the best results by choosing the right type of dough for your project.\r\n\r\nFor more intricate, decorative cutout cookies, our Test Kitchen recommends using a sturdy dough like the one in our recipe for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/santa-s-elf-cookies\/\">Santa's Elf Cookies<\/a>. Dough that's too wet or fragile can be frustrating to work with. If you're using a dough that you know tends to spread and melt in the oven, stick to simple shapes like rounds.\r\n\r\n<em>Test Kitchen Tip:<\/em> If you're willing to experiment, you can alter recipes to make them more stable and better for cutouts. For example, try substituting some of the granulated sugar for confectioners' sugar or slightly increasing the flour. But remember\u2014adapting a recipe takes patience!\r\n<h3>Step 2: Roll out the dough<\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1563385\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/BW20_225538_B09_17_5b-1.jpg?fit=700,800\" alt=\"Hands rolling out cookie dough in order to make cutout cookies.\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/>\r\n\r\nAfter preparing your cookie dough, refrigerate it for at least 1 hour. This will make the dough easier to cut with cookie cutters (especially intricate ones) and may help prevent your cookies from spreading in the oven.\r\n\r\nOnce the dough is chilled, roll it out on a cool, lightly floured surface. (Here's <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-roll-out-cookie-dough\/\">how to roll out cookie dough<\/a> like a pro!) Keep the dough's thickness as even as possible so that the cookies will cook consistently. Many recipes call for 1\/4-inch thick dough, but follow your recipe's directions.\r\n\r\n<em>Test Kitchen Tip:<\/em> Measure your dough's thickness with a ruler or use this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jkadams.com\/product\/lovely-maple-rolling-pin\/kitchen-and-baking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">measured rolling pin<\/a>, which has indentations to guarantee an even thickness. It comes in 1\/4-inch and 1\/8-inch sizes.\r\n<h3>Step 3: Cut out the cookies<\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1563387\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/BW20_225538_B09_17_6b-1.jpg?fit=700,800\" alt=\"Hands using a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut cookie dough.\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/>\r\n\r\nNow it's time to cut out your cookie shapes. To prevent sticking, dust your cookie cutters with flour before firmly pressing them into the dough.\r\n\r\nUse a thin spatula to transfer the cutouts onto a cookie sheet, spacing them at least 1 inch apart. Bake according to the recipe directions. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.\r\n<h3>Step 4: Repeat<\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1563390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/GHTJS17_4217PU_C09_26_16bC.jpg?fit=700,800\" alt=\"Hands transferring cutout cookies to a wire cooling rack.\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/>\r\n\r\nIf you're making multiple batches of cookies, keep the extra dough chilled while the initial batches are baking. Once you take each batch out of the oven, let the cookie sheet cool completely before loading it up with the next batch of dough.\r\n\r\n<em>Test Kitchen Tip:<\/em> You can recycle dough scraps by combining them and rolling them out again\u2014just make sure the dough is still chilled. However, avoid re-rolling the dough too many times\u2014it could become tough. (Check out our other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-cutout-cookies\/\">tips for making cutout cookies<\/a>.)\r\n<h2>Tips for Using Cookie Cutters<\/h2>\r\n<h3>How do I prevent the cookie cutters from sticking to the dough?<\/h3>\r\nAn easy way to prevent cookie cutters from sticking to the dough is to quickly dip the edges of the cutter in flour before pressing it into the sheet of dough. Repeat after each cut.\r\n\r\nIf your cookies still stick, use a small spatula or offset spatula to press the cookie out of the mold.\r\n<h3>How do I prevent the rolling pin from sticking to the dough?<\/h3>\r\nTo keep the cookie dough from sticking to the dough, first ensure that you let the dough chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Cold dough is less likely to become sticky.\r\n\r\nYou can also prevent your rolling pin from sticking by dusting it with a bit of flour. You can also layer the cookie dough between sheets of parchment paper and roll it out. When you're ready to cut, peel away the top layer of parchment and press the cookie cutters into the dough.\r\n<h3>How do you make cutout cookies that keep their shape?<\/h3>\r\nChoosing the right recipe is key to making cutout cookies that will keep their shape. A sturdy dough made with confectioners' sugar instead of granulated sugar is a great option. It's also important to use chilled dough. If your dough is too warm, the butter will melt too quickly in the oven.\r\n\r\nCheck out these other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/why-are-my-cookies-flat\/\">tips to keep cookies from spreading<\/a>.\r\n<h3>How do I get the clearest details in my cookie cutouts?<\/h3>\r\nTo get crisp edges and clear detail, make sure you're working with cool dough. You can even place the cutouts in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up. This will help the cookies retain their definition.\r\n<h3>How much dough should I roll out at a time?<\/h3>\r\nDon't feel like you have to roll out a full batch of dough at a time. For best results, divide your cookie dough into halves or thirds. Wrap each of these portions in waxed paper and stash them in the fridge until you're ready to use them.\r\n\r\nThese smaller portions\u2014just a few cups worth of dough\u2014are easy to work with and won't take up every inch of counter space.\r\n<h3>What else can you use cookie cutters for?<\/h3>\r\nThere are many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ways-to-use-cookie-cutters-that-dont-involve-baking\/\">other ways to use cookie cutters<\/a> that don't involve baking\u2014use them as a stencil for crafts, hang them as Christmas ornaments or use them to make fun-shaped pancakes.
