- Candy cane
By far one of the most useful cut outs to have handy is the candy cane. Its slim shape allows the candy cane to easily fill the remaining part of the dough that no other cut out can reach. It saves lots of rerolling out dough and minimizes scraps during the cutting process.
- Gingerbread man
The gingerbread man cookie is a staple of Christmas. When thinking of Christmas cookies the gingerbread man immediately comes to mind. The cookie tray would simply feel empty without his presence.
- Snowman
Snow is associated with a perfect Christmas by most people. Kids dream of sledding, snow ball fights and making snowmen. Christmas yards simply don’t feel the same without them and the cookie tray shouldn’t be missing them either.
- Christmas tree
The Christmas tree may be the most iconic Christmas tradition and is a must add to your cookie cutter collection. The Christmas tree also brings versatility to the decorating step. The tree can be dressed in a multitude of colors representing ornaments, tinsel and lights.
- Reindeer
Reindeer cookie cutouts are found less commonly and can go underappreciated by many. Santa’s iconic team of reindeer make an excellent addition to any platter and offer a unique shape to decorate.
- Santa hat
While a Santa cut out is certainly a useful cookie cutter, it may be hard to pick him out from the other gingerbread and snowmen. The Santa hat is much more recognizable and won’t be easily confused with other cookies while still bringing Santa vibes.
