This week's give away is a brand new bucket of 40 Christmas cookie cutters.
There are 20 designs with 2 of each kind...one standard size and one mini.
Here are the pictures of the cookie cutters.
What's wonderful about cookie cutters is the many uses for them. You know me...never use something for real purpose.
- cookies (that one is obvious, lol )
- cut out rice crispy treats
- make fudge in each one and give as a gift
- Christmas tree ornaments
- tie them together for a wreath or hang them from a wreath
- hang a tag on each one for a dinner place card
- use a napkin ring
- templates for scrap booking
- cut out shapes from card stock and make gift tags
- how can I not mention Quilt Appliques!!
- cut out sandwiches for children
- cut out shapes from pancakes
For me, I use cookie cutters for everything else but cookies. I tend to make drop cookies rather than rolled cookies.
I usually make M&M cookies, Hershey Kiss cookies, Russian Tea Cakes, Coconut Macaroons, chocolate covered peanut butter balls, "Good Cookies", chocolate Chex mix, caramel popcorn and more.
To enter the give away you can just leave a comment, but if you'd like to leave a comment with your favorite Christmas Cookie or dessert that would be great too.
Maybe some time in the fall, closer to Christmas I can put together a blog to share Christmas recipes
I'll pick the winner next Sunday August 1st!!
Take care,
~Karen~
Oh. I love this giveaway... The grandkids would have a great time cutting cookies and pie dough into pretty shapes...and then eating them...
ReplyDeleteI love using cookie cutters to cut out sandwiches. It's always more fun to eat things that are in cute shapes!
ReplyDeleteWow all the cutters in one basket. Well bucket. Mine are in zip locks and they are usually not zipped shut!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway.
Oh what a cute giveaway!! Yes Christmas is 5 months away but it will be here before we know it. I just love making cookies with my kids and grandbabies :) Count me in :)
ReplyDeleteNot only for holidays! I'd love to have these fun cookie cutters.
ReplyDeleteI know I just won, so it is totally greedy of me to want this fun Christmas in July prize too! This month's prizes have been SO much fun! I love it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas cookie? I can never pick just one. I love sugar cookies. One year I made 48 dozen sugar cookies {yes, you read that right, 48 dozen} sugar cookies for friends and neighbors. I also love gingerbread men and then there is this fancy cookie you do in an iron and it comes out looking like a snowflake. I don't know what it is called, but my mom's neighbor makes them and they are yummy.
Crossing my fingers for this week too. Does lightning strike twice {lol}?

Cookie cutters also look great sitting on the table in a big bowl. Very festive! What a great give-away.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I know I've started thinking about Christmas. One has to start early just to keep up, especially if its going to be homemade.
ReplyDeleteI just love cookie cutters! My grandmother used to make dozens of sugar cookies at Christmas time and we would all sit around the table and decorate them. What fun!
ReplyDeleteMGM
Those cookie cutters are so adorable! Count me in! :)
ReplyDeleteEven though my kids are older, we still love making sugar cookies together. Some of the decorations get a little crazy or "artistic" but we're just having fun!
ReplyDeleteA bucket of Christmas cookie cutters is just what I need. I don't have any! Hope I win - thanks for the great giveaways, Karen!
ReplyDeleteHow fun it would be to get some new cookie cutters. And what great ideas you have for them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCookie cutters bring back all kinds of good memories. My mother grew up in Scotland, and my favorite all-time Christmas treat is currant cakes.
ReplyDeleteI am totally thinking about Christmas! Going Christmas shopping next weekend at some specialty shops, hopefully, I can score some really fabulous gifts. My favorite dessert is my Mom's cheesecake and my Grandmother's chocolate pie. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love those cookie cutters! I'm more of a drop cookie person too (I make an absolutely divine soft chocolate chip cookie...seriously, it's amazing), but since the husband and I just moved abroad, we're trying to convince our families (from Wisconsin, Texas, and Ohio) to do Christmas with us. Christmas cookies would be a perfect activity!
ReplyDeleteI have not ever seen so many different cookie cutter shapes. They are simply divine and I would love to win them :)
ReplyDeleteThose cookie cutters are adorable! What a great give-away.Thanks,
ReplyDeleteSweet little cookie cutters. My grandchildren like using cookie cutters so cookie cut we must! Our family has a recipe called "Biscuit Cookies" which are wonderful when rolled, cut and iced. I think they are my oldest son's favorite cookie. The recipe is in a very old notebook and handwritten by my great-grandmother. Thanks for the giveaway. BTW - loved your post on Stash Manicure!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful give-away. I don't have any cookie cutters myself. So I don't have a favorite cookie recipe.
ReplyDeleteBut I do have a favorite Christmas desert: my mother Pinapple Bavarois. My mum is a cooking teacher and makes the most delightful deserts for Christmas. But her pineapple bavarois is my alltime favorite. A bit of summer in the dark wintermonths.
oh my how we would love to win these.
ReplyDeletemy DD just got into baking and has fell in love with making sugar cookies with cookie cutters...
have to be honest not something I ever liked doing...I like making drop cookies or choc chip just roll in a little ball and cook!
thanks
Kathie who loves oatmeal cookies
My favorite cookie is my Grandmother's roll out sugar cookie. My grand kids always want to make them when they come up. I would love to win more cookie cutters.
ReplyDeleteKaren, never too early to think about Christmas...love all your ideas for uses of them. Just read your post on Stash Manicure - very cute!
ReplyDeleteI love butter cookies and sugar cookies made with a cookie "shooter" gun I have (but rarely use). I'd use these cutters as the main ornaments on my second Christmas tree...the one nearest the kitchen. I think they'd be very cute on that tree!
ReplyDeleteI, like you, tend to go for the drop or bar cookies! But I do love all your ideas...
ReplyDeleteOur family favorite cookie (read: it's not Christmas without them)are the green Christmas tree cookies (almond flavored, please!) made with the old Mirro aluminum cookie press. My Mom made these and all 7 of us kids think they HAVE TO be made. Now my own children (and now 4 grandchildren) are addicted as well!
Hands down my favorite Christmas treat is almond crescents. Think shortbread, only with lots of crushed almonds in them and when just out of the oven they are dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar. Truly dangerous stuff.
ReplyDeleteI would love a chance at your giveaway!! I love cookie cutters. Thanks Pat

ReplyDeleteBest cookie recipe:
ReplyDeletecut Chocolate Chip refrigerated cookie dough into 1/4" slices. Wrap each slice around a "Snickers mini" candy bar. Bake as directed on refrigerated cookie dough package.
These are AMAZING! and look and taste like a gourmet cookie.
Cool giveaway, what kid doesn't like to make cookies and these can only make the process happier.
ReplyDeleteI make mostly drop cookies too, but my mom loves to make rolled out sugar cookies. These would be a great surprise for her!
ReplyDeleteMy Hubby loves cut out cookies! The grands will eat any cookie that available! I love that there is 2 sizes! Great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun to me--what great gifts they would make in a cute bag with a recipe. (Or, maybe I'll just keep them ALL).
ReplyDeletePlease throw my hat in the ring. I love Christmas cookie cutters and vow to buy some every year just so I can make cookies. (although we call them biscuits here ) Of course with all the other things that go on at that time of the year by the time I never do make the cookies....sigh.
ReplyDeleteBut these are just so stinking cute , I'm sure I'd be inspired if they came to live in my kitchen.
I just found your blog from "Stash Manicure," and I feel like I've come home! I love it here!
ReplyDeleteAs for cookies, our all-time favorite is a chocolate chip recipe given by a dear family friend (who was also an Army Ranger--go figure!) but Christmas just isn't Christmas without a session baking my mom's sugar cookie cut-outs with my boys. Thanks for bringing back the memories of Christmas in July! :)
Love, love, love this place!

I am the family cookie baker and would love some new cookie cutters. Most of my old ones are pretty big and I find the smaller cookies are eaten sooner.
ReplyDeleteCount me in. Nice giveaway. It's hard to believe Christmas is only 5 months away when we've been melting in 100 degree weather for weeks.
ReplyDeleteDarlis
Karen~ I would love to be included
ReplyDeletein your giveaway. My favorite cookie is iced sugar cookies. My
grandchildren help with this process every year. I collect vintage cookie cutters so I put
them on my kitchen Christmas tree.
Thats after we make the cookies.":O)
I love cookie cutters. I want to make a wreath I saw made out of them. These would work great.
ReplyDeleteI loved your recipie for the cupcakes! I tried them over the weekend:) I just embarked on making cookies from cookie cutters for my son's wedding (sugar cookies with roayal icing)... and now I'm totally addicted. Please put my name into your wonderful giveaway, I would love a chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI love cookie cutters. I use them to make cookies, sandwiches and our own lunchables. Add my name to this great give away.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Christmas treats are BUCKEYES! Yum yum! But I also like chocolate crinkles and good, moist gingerbread. *drool*
ReplyDeleteI'm with you - easy cookies are the best. Here's alink to my super easy sugar cookies: http://brunosmom.blogspot.com/2009/04/best-sugar-cookies-in-world-and-easiest.html
ReplyDeleteLove you easy apron pattern over at Stash Manicure. Great idea.
OH I love your giveaway!!! I use lots of cookie cutters during the holiday season.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway and great ideas to use the cutters. I never thought of them as a wreath but wouldn't they be cute all tied together with red ribbon, hung on the mantle? I like to use them as ornaments but never thought of placecards or napkin rings before. Isn't it amazing when you can think outside the box and come up with so many ideas. That's exactly what reading your blog has helped me do...I look at alot of things differently now. Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteGreat cookie cutters Karen! Not sure if you want to send them all the way to Holland, but I'd love to make some things with them!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great selection of cookie cutters! Each year before Christmas I invite some of the neighborhood children over to make cookies - it gives their parents a break and I enjoy the time with them. These would be great for them to use! Even if I don't win, I am going to look for them - my vintage cutters are not nearly as deep, and therefore more difficult for the little ones to use. Karin
ReplyDeleteI remember doing cut-outs with my mom and sisters and brother, then doing them with my kids, now we do them with the grandkids. My favorite recipe is plain sugar cookies.
ReplyDeleteThose woould be fun to use. I'm ready for winter and cooler weather. It is 100 degrees today!
ReplyDeleteLove the cookie cutters - favorite recipe - why Sugar cookies of course! Also use simple cookie cutter designs to trace applique's for kids clothes! Some of these would be just great. Would love to win
ReplyDeleteI have a small collection of cookie cutters although I never seem to use them. I love looking at the shapes. Reading your blog though has given me some different ideas for their use. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog a couple days ago and I love it!!! My favorite Christmas Cookies are shaped, iced sugar cookies :)
ReplyDeletewow, what a collection! I have a small collection of cookie cutters that I use for mu unusall soft scupture baskets. I trace the cookie cutter onto fabric, stitch, turn inside out and stuff. decorate with 3 demintion (sp) paint. this is the wall of the basket. the handle is 3 tubes of fabric stuffed and braided and the bottom is a round mini pillow. cute! I will have to post on my blog a pic. there are some shapes in the 40 pc collection I dont have. hmmmmm.....my brain is working over time now...
ReplyDeleteMy kids LOVE to help me bake sugar cookies. They would absolutely love these cookie cutters!! I think sharing Christmas recipes is an awesome idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you know. I have been looking for some cookie cutters to make lolipops for my greatgrandson. Guess this is a sign, huh?
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful set of cookie cutters Karen! Favorite Christmas cookie - sour cream raisin cookies. They need cookie cutters too!
ReplyDeleteOur favorite Christmas Cookies are Swedish Rosettes. I have a collection of about a dozen different shapes of irons to make them with. But the littlest ones (friend's children, no grandkids yet) prefer that we make iced sugar cookies so they can participate in the 'fun'. I only have a few cookie cutters, so this collection would really give them some choices. Great giveaway! snuginmyden@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI haven't won anything yet so I will try again. And what a prize cookie cutters.
ReplyDeletewow cute cutters. Now a tutorial for decorations that look professional and I'd be in hog heaven.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI am constantly amazed at all your great ideas. It really makes me look at everything with new eyes. Thanks Sharyn
Oh, I love cookie cutters. Every Christmas my aunt would send/mail us a box of sugar cookies in all kinds of Christmas shapes. What a wonderful memory! Even with alzheimer, she continued to make sugar cookies and give to people--sometimes with several tablespoons of vanilla.
ReplyDeleteI now make sugar cookies each Christmas with my grandkids and they love all the different shapes.
I use cookie cutters to cut out different shapes for sandwiches. The grandkids also like to use the cutters with play dough.
Wow! Great giveaway - and Christmas is sneaking up on me! I also tend to make drop cookies, as I never see, to have the time it takes for a beautifully decorated cut-out cookie. I use my cookie cutters for napkin rings at the holidays. My all-time favorite thing to make at Christmas is peppermint bark.

How fun! I love to make cookies, but I love all of your other suggestions too! Just found your blog and will follow o:)
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and LUV it! Thanks for sharing great ideas and tutes! I do use most of my cookie cutters for roll out sugar cookies but really enjoyed some of your ideas too so just might have to give it a try :-) Thanks for a chance to win some new ones!
ReplyDeleteLove the cookie cutters! What a fun giveaway. I can think of so many fun uses for these.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the op to win.

My Mom just helped me organize my pantry today and pointed out that I do not need any more cookie cutters. Yet I disagree, you can never have too many! What a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute assortment of cutters. Yes, I do drop cookies most often also...or roll in a ball type!

ReplyDeleteGreat for placing on the tree - I usually have a white/silver/red theme. But, I would love to get one of those skinny little trees and put it in the kitchen and have a food theme. Hmm that would be fun!
ReplyDeleteLiz
Favorites? Snickerdoodles, chocolate chip, peanut butter crisscrosses, and refrigerator roll oatmeal raisin. Also, the easy cake mix cookies from Flyladys website.
ReplyDeleteLove to craft with cookie cutters. Great giveaway! My fave is snickerdoodles or maybe chocolate chip. Wish I had some of both right now!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite cookie is a devil food cake cookie that I make I love it. I'd love to be a part of your give away and it's a great idea to use them for other things :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute giveaway. My favorite Christmas treats are my Mom's raisin tarts. Super delish.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, I also tend to use cookie cutters for something other than cookies. They look pretty neat strung horizontally and draped across a window or strung together in twos or threes or fours and hung from the top of the window. Anyway, the cookies I absolutely have to make every year for Christmas are those butter cookie press cookies (my daughter used to decorate them and now she does that with her two boys) and Italian pizzelles made with anise. They are made with the iron that was my Mom's but the tradition came from my husband's side of the family. My parents bought the pizzelle maker because they like my in-laws so much. Anyway, thanks for doing another give-away. You are a generous person.
ReplyDeleteCookie cutters are good for lots of things. Count me in.
ReplyDeleteLouise
Do I really need more cookie cutters?
