Would you believe that I have cookie cutters that I started collecting as a little kid? Yup. Still use them. DGD comes over every now and then wanting to borrow one (or some).
I love cookie cutters. I think I have only made cut out cookies once in my adult life but I have a number of cutters. I look for them in thrift stores and have most out displayed. Snowflakes, cats, bunnies, chickens, a pumpkin.
Good just keep calling those brown things "cookies". Here in Canada it has now been declared politically incorrect to call them "brownies." Apparently, using the word "brownies" is a very, very bad thing. It might offend some people. Yes, the politically correct are working hard to make Canada a wonderful, "lovey dovy" sort of place. I wish them luck. On 2nd thought, maybe I don't!
