Williams Sonoma Cookie Cutters

These tools are designed to create the indentation only. You will need to shape your cookie dough into a ball or disc first, then press the cutter into the center to create the decorative impression and the well for your filling.

Standard shortbread or sugar cookie doughs work best. Avoid recipes with heavy mix-ins like large chocolate chips or nuts, as they can interfere with the clean impression of the cutter.

Yes, they are quite versatile. You can use them to create decorative indentations in fondant for cake decorating, or even to stamp shapes into soft clay or salt dough ornaments.

Lightly dust the cutter with flour before each press. If you notice dough building up in the crevices, wipe the cutter clean with a damp cloth and re-flour it to ensure the details remain sharp.

While they are durable, we recommend hand-washing these cutters with warm, soapy water and drying them thoroughly immediately after to prevent any potential rust or damage to the finish.
