Christmas cookie cutter sets for sugar cookies and gingerbread, plus baking sets for decorating with kids.
Choosing the right Christmas cookie cutters makes holiday baking faster, more fun, and far less frustrating. This guide covers seven top-rated sets to help you find the perfect match for your kitchen.
Stainless steel cutters cut cleanly, hold their shape and last for years. Plastic cutters are safer for small children and often have rounded tops that are easier to press. Look for a sharp, thin cutting edge and a comfortable rim.
Shape variety is the fun part. Classic sets include trees, stars, snowflakes, gingerbread people, stockings and candy canes. Cutters around 3 to 4 inches are big enough to decorate and small enough to bake evenly.
For decorating, complete the set with piping bags and tips, squeeze bottles for icing, sprinkles and food coloring. Some kits include everything, which makes a great gift for a family that bakes together. Hand-wash metal cutters and dry them well to prevent rust.
Chill the dough before cutting for sharper edges, and dip cutters in flour between cuts so the dough releases cleanly. For an easier holiday activity, try a gingerbread house kit, and serve cookies on festive Christmas dinnerware.
