It's the holiday season! Grab your cookie sheets, your shortbread dough, and the frosting bags, because it's time to dig up granny's old cookie cutters to bake up some holiday cheer! Except, when you look at granny's cookie-cutter shapes, it's hard to decipher what they're even supposed to be. Is that a deformed Christmas tree? Or some kind of obscure Pokemon? Is this a dreidel? Or just a lumpy arrowhead?
It's tough to say who even thinks up the strange shapes over there at the cookie-cutter factory, but hilariously, it's very common to incorrectly identify your cookie shapes. Although with the context of the packaging, it may seem obvious that your cookie-cutter is shaped like a turkey with a cowboy hat. But once years have gone by with those metal cut-outs sitting in the drawer, it can be tricky to piece together what you're even looking at anymore…
So if you'd like to enjoy some of the silliest, most unidentifiable cookie-cutter shapes, scroll onward for these half-baked ideas!
