How to make your own cookie cutter

The cookies come packaged in boxes or can be purchased at bakeries and supermarkets, but nothing beats the taste of homemade cookies. Crispy, chewy or buttery – people of all ages, shapes and sizes enjoy bite after bite of delicious cookies. Also, cookies are more fun to eat when they come in fun shapes.

You can buy cookie cutters, but if you want a fancier cookie cutter, it’s easy to make your own.

The materials are readily available at hardware stores, and making them requires just a few simple steps.

These are the materials you will need:

-A roll of aluminum: Be sure to use only food-grade aluminum, as some types of aluminum contain chemicals that are unsafe for use in food products. Check the gauge of the aluminum – the stronger the gauge, the more difficult it will be to bend the metal to the desired shape.

-The shape of your planned cookie cutter

-A rule or rule

-A pair of scissors: If you are using a heavy gauge aluminum, you can use tin snips

-A knife

-Clips

-Adhesive – Must check to make sure they are food safe

Follow these easy steps on how to make your own cookie cutter:

-Place the photograph or image that you want to be the design of your cookie cutter. Take the thread and follow the lines of the image using the thread.

-To measure the length of aluminum, you can also use the length of the thread as an indicator.

-Cut the aluminum depending on the width you want.

-Fold the aluminum according to the shape of the desired cookie cutter (the image you have).

-Place adhesive on the ends of the cutter.

-Use clips to hold the ends together while allowing it to dry.

You can use old soda cans so you don’t have to buy aluminum (plus soda cans are already food-safe). And when you no longer want the same shape, you can simply discard it and create another one. It seems that as long as you have empty soda cans and a little creativity, you can easily create the cookie cutter of your dreams.

You can even ask the kids to help you to have more fun and spend more time in the kitchen. Just be sure to make them wear gloves or anything that will protect their hands from any possible cuts from the foil edges or the knife. Now you just need to prepare your favorite recipe and you are on your way to delicious cookie time.
