I found these cute little cookie cutters at W*l-Mart yesterday for just a few dollars. We’re not really into sugar cookies much, though I can picture these with cinnamon and red, yellow, and orange colored sprinkled sugar. But I thought they’d be neat for cutting decorative venting holes for pie crusts.
Maybe they’ve been around for ages, but I just discovered them.
Michael’s had them, too, and though I don’t remember the prices I think they were a little more there. But then Michael’s usually has a 40% off coupon in Sunday’s paper.
As always on Wednesdays, you can find scores of great tips at Rocks In My Dryer.

I’m going to get them TODAY. Those are too cute.
Those are too cute! I have the Noah’s Ark set that they make (mini’s too) and I use them to cut shapes in my sons cheese for school. There are so many uses for those cute little things.
Thisi san awesome idea. I love baking pie and always hand cut or mold shapes for the top–I have an entire set of Noah’s ark mini cutters. I think our next pie will use them.
I have these! I actually got them at a garage sale. You know what else you can do with them? If you make a one-crust pie, like pumpkin, cut shapes from your leftover dough and put them around the edge. It looks really cute!
we’ve always just used the mini sized cutters for playdough. lol
I use mine to cut DD’s sandwich for her lunch. She is 3 and it makes pieces just the right size.
I got mine at Hobby Lobby- 3 for $1

I never would have thought of that, and it’s a really great idea to use them for pies. I have so many little cookie cutters (actually I just have so many cookie cutters) that I never have figured out what I’d use my tiny ones for. Thanks for sharing your idea!
When you said, “…venting holes” the first thing I thought of was pumpkins. Might be tough to manage, but wouldn’t a pumpkin be cute with all those little leaves around it? Hmmm…. There might be a way.
OH! Those are CUTE!
These are also great for cheese and butter. Pampered Chef also has these.
