Cookie Cutters

Create Fun Bakes With Cookie Cutters in Many Shapes

Few things beat the smell of warm cookies filling the kitchen, and Spotlight has the cookie cutters to shape every batch. We are Australia's go-to shop for home bakers who love turning simple cookie dough into fun bakes in every shape. Our wide range of cookie cutters covers birthdays, holidays, and cosy weekend baking with the kids. You get quality baking tools at everyday prices, so shaping cookies and other desserts feels easy from the very first batch.

• Round and geometric cutters give you clean bases for iced and layered cookies.
• Seasonal designs cover Christmas cookie cutters like the Christmas tree and snowflake cookie cutter, plus Halloween shapes, Valentine's Day hearts and designs for Mother's Day and Father's Day.
• Novelty and themed cutters bring unicorn, dinosaur, mermaid, and sports designs to birthdays, weddings, baby showers, and more.

Should You Get a Cookie Cutter or a Cookie Stamp?

Cookie cutters and cookie stamps do different jobs.

A cookie cutter shapes the outline of your dough, so you get stars, animals and seasonal shapes with clean edges. It suits shaped sugar cookies and gingerbread. A cookie stamp embosser or debosser presses a design or message into the surface, leaving a raised or debossed pattern on a plain round biscuit. It works best on smooth, flat cookies where the pattern is the main feature. Plenty of bakers use both together, cutting the shape first, then stamping the detail on top. And Spotlight stocks both, so you can grab everything in one shop.

Bake Perfectly Shaped Cookies Every Time

Yes, cookie cutters are crucial for perfectly shaped bakes. But a few simple habits give you neat results every time:

• Chill your cookie dough before you cut, then chill the shapes again on the tray before baking.
• Roll the dough to an even thickness with a rolling pin, and flour your cutter so it lifts away without sticking.
• Press straight down, then lift straight up for clean edges. Avoid twisting the cutter.
• For cutters with fine detail, dip them in flour between cuts and push the dough out gently.
• Bake on chilled trays or silicone mats at the right oven temperature so fine detail stays sharp.
• Re-roll leftover scraps to cut down on waste and get a few more cookies from each batch.

Keep in mind that cookie cutters work best with a firm cookie dough that holds its edges, like sugar cookie and gingerbread. It's not recommended for softer dough, as it spreads and blurs the shape.

Get Creative Beyond Cookies

Cookie cutters earn their keep well beyond biscuits. They can also double as fondant cutters for DIY cake toppers and decorations. You can also use them to cut pancakes into fun shapes, trim sandwiches and fruit for lunchboxes, or shape mini pies and pastries for parties.

Cutters are handy for crafts, too. Kids can press playdough shapes, make salt dough ornaments, cut soft clay and trace painting stencils on rainy afternoons.

We recommend using different cutters for craft and baking to keep everything safe and hygienic.
