While circular cookies are always a treat, you might want to get a little creative the next time you’re working in the kitchen. A purse cookie cutter is an amusing addition to your collection of baking tools. Consider these fun ways in which you could use a purse cookie cutter the next time you are in the mood to make cookies or other snacks.
Book Club Treats
Many people enjoy the social aspects of belonging to a book club. When the club meets, it is customary for the host to serve some snacks. You could use a cookie cutter in the shape of a purse to complement the theme of the book under discussion. Cookies in the shape of purses could be great for a novel or biography about a heroine who is known for her fashion sense, or a nonfiction book about managing money.
Retirement or Birthday Party
If you have a friend or family member who loves purses and collects them, cookies in the shape of a purse could be a fun way to salute the guest of honor. You could use different thicknesses and colors of icing to create interesting patterns on the cookies. You could even decorate the cookies to resemble some of the purses in the lady’s collection.
Add Interest to Other Foods
You can use a cookie cutter in the shape of a purse to cut shapes out of many other types of food. Perhaps your family loves Rice Krispy treats or Jell-O. These cookie cutters could easily cut this shape out of those treats. You could also use them to make purse-shaped pancakes, miniature sandwiches, or waffles for a special occasion. Consider using your purse-shaped cookie cutter when preparing fresh fruit, such as watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, or pineapple, for a salad everyone will notice at your next party.
