Inspiration Sunday: Cookie Cutters

Cookie Cutters from Sur La Table


Cookie cutters can be used for so much more other than JUST cookies.

Here is a collection of ideas of things to do with cookie cutters OTHER than cut your sugar cookies! (all of these images are ideas I have collected. I don't own any of them. I don't know where a lot of them are from, I can assume just a lot of great blogs. If one of these images is yours, please email me and I'd be happy to link back to your blog)
