This FB Group Helps People To Identify Their Cookie Cutters, Here Are 40 Of The Best Attempts
Interview With Owner
With kitchenware, what you see is usually what you get. A deep round-bottomed cooking pan is a wok, a narrow cylindrical beaker equipped with a metal or plastic lid and plunger is a French press, and a bottle of wine is the best stress reliever after a long, hard day.
However, when it comes to cookie cutters, things become a little tricky. They come in so many shapes and sizes that it's easy to get confused about what they're supposed to represent. Luckily, there's a way to get to the bottom of it.
The Facebook group 'Cookie Cutter Identification' or 'CCID' has 144,000 members, all of whom are ready to help interpret the weirdest of these weird tools. Many even go beyond mere speculation; they take the challenge to the next level by creating drawings of their versions.

It's upside down. It's a cup shaped mortar and pestle, like many pharmacies used to use as a symbol of their profession.

Sharkie 2 years ago
Not sure about the shape but in my country we bake something like a cookie with two pieces of cutters. Always one with a little hole in the middle and one without. You then stick together both pieces with a jam or whatever you prefer and because the cookies are light colour and there is a little red jam showing in the hole, it looks more festive.

It is a bunny. The symmetrical part are the feet, showing us the toe beans. The rest is the head with one ear hanging down and the other a bit bend.

Upside down. There is a bow (what is the upside in the photo) and a pointed hat (what looks down). It might be a clown or a gnome or similar. It reminds me of our Kasper.
